[lonelyleaf]

FROM timescaledev/timescaledb-ha:pg11-ts1.5

USER root

ADD postgis-2.5.3.tar.gz /tmp

WORKDIR /tmp/postgis-2.5.3

Thanks for the report! I think we'll provide a lean image (the one referenced) and a bigger image, containing postgis for example.

Could you try a Docker image I created to develop this?
I created a Docker image with the addition of postgis, here is a snippet of my values.yaml:

image:
  repository: timescaledev/timescaledb-ha
  tag: pg11-ts1.5-postgis
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

I included both postgis 2.5 and 3, so to install 2.5.3 (as in your example) you will need to be explicit, but for me this works:

postgres=# create extension postgis version "2.5.3";
CREATE EXTENSION
postgres=# SELECT postgis_full_version();
                                                                                                    postgis_full_version

@feikesteenbergen I have tested timescaledev/timescaledb-ha:pg11-ts1.5-postgis in my single table test, seems to work fine.

[feikesteenbergen]

As of the next scheduled release of TimescaleDB I intend to have a PostGis Docker image available.

Would require some documentation updates to help you out, but after that I think this issue is addressed.

[laurids-reichardt]

Would love to see this as well!

[feikesteenbergen]

The Docker image is now going to be built regularly, including postgis. Still need to update the documentation, for now, if you use the following docker image with 1.5.1 of the Helm Charts you should be good:

timescaledev/timescaledb-ha:pg11-ts1.6-postgis

[feikesteenbergen]

For now we decided to include PostGIS in all the timescaledb-docker-ha images, to reduce the number of variants we have to build.

New images are being built and after a smoke test I expect them to be available within < 24 hours.
They include PostgreSQL 11.7 as well.
