rgielen/postgresql-ubuntu Docker image

This is an Ubuntu-based PostgreSQL Docker Image using stock packages from Ubuntu.

Run a container

Run docker pull rgielen/postgresql-ubuntu to pull the latest image before running.

Use docker run -d -v my-pg-volume:/var/lib/postgresql --name my-pg rgielen/postgresql-ubuntu to create and run a container named my-pg with a volume named my-pg-volume, where the database cluster will be stored persistently.

Supported Volumes

  • /var/lib/postgresql will contain the database cluster

Supported Environment Variables

  • PG_PASSWORD - set a password for the postgres user. If not gibven, the password is generated and logged to console on first start
  • LANG - defaults to de_DE.UTF-8, as it fits my specific needs along with generating locale definitions on build. Set this to en_US.UTF-8 to support english locale for cluster creation and feedback
