zilehuda/postgres-postgis

The zilehuda/postgres-postgis is a simple docker image provides running Postgres with PostGIS 2.5 installed. This image is based on the official postgres image.

This image ensures that the default database created by the parent postgres image will have the following extensions installed:

• postgis
• postgis_topology
• fuzzystrmatch
• postgis_tiger_geocoder

Default database with with above extensions is template_postgis, if you want to add custom database name then you have to pass ARG -e POSTGRES_DB while running container.

Environment Variables

## POSTGRES_PASSWORD This environment variable is recommended for you to use the PostgreSQL image. This environment variable sets the superuser password for PostgreSQL.

## POSTGRES_USER This optional environment variable is used in conjunction with POSTGRES_PASSWORD to set a user and its password.

##POSTGRES_DB This optional environment variable can be used to create new database with default database.

Usage

In order to run a basic container capable of serving a PostGIS-enabled database, start a container as follows:

docker run --name some-postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d zilehuda/postgres-postgis

if you want with custom database and postgres user

docker run --name some-postgis -e POSTGRES_USER=zilehuda -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e POSTGRES_DB=postgis_db -d zilehuda/postgres-postgis
