Launching PostgreSQL

Quick Start (not recommended for production use)

To connect to the container as the administrative postgres user:

docker run -it --rm --volumes-from=postgresql tntim96/postgresql-postgis:9.2 sudo -u
postgres -H psql

Creating a database at launch

You can create a postgresql superuser at launch by specifying DB_USER and DB_PASS variables. You may also create a database by using DB_NAME.

docker run --name postgresql -d \
-e 'POSTGRES_USER=pg_admin' \
-e 'POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pg_admin' \
-e 'POSTGRES_DB=pg_admin' \
tntim96/postgresql-postgis:9.2

To connect to your database with your newly created user:

psql -U username -h $(docker inspect --format {{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}} postgresql)
