⁠DockerHub

This image is published on DockerHub as docker pull strues/postgres.

⁠Usage

This image works in the same way the official postgres docker image work.

It's documented on DockerHub in it's README: https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/⁠.

For example, you can start a basic PostgreSQL server, protected by a password, listening on port 5432 by running the following:

$ docker run --name awesomepg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d strues/postgres

Next, you can start you app's container while linking it to the PostgreSQL container you just created giving it access to it.

$ docker run --name some-app --link awesomepg:postgres -d application-that-uses-postgres

Your app will now be able to access POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR and POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT environment variables.
