Installation

Build from Source

Clone this repository and build the image with docker build <arguments> (imagename) .

Prebuilt Images

Builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull tiredofit/postgres:(imagetag)

The following image tags are available along with their tagged release based on what's written in the Changelog:

Multi Architecture

Images are built primarily for amd64 architecture, and may also include builds for arm/v7, arm64 and others. These variants are all unsupported. Consider sponsoring my work so that I can work with various hardware. To see if this image supports multiple architecures, type docker manifest (image):(tag)

Configuration

Quick Start

• The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use.

• Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.

• Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.

• Make networking ports available for public access if necessary

Persistent Storage

The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.

Environment Variables

Base Images used

This image relies on an Alpine Linux base image that relies on an init system for added capabilities. Outgoing SMTP capabilities are handlded via msmtp. Individual container performance monitoring is performed by zabbix-agent. Additional tools include: bash,curl,less,logrotate,nano,vim.

Be sure to view the following repositories to understand all the customizable options:

Container Options

Server Options

These options are related to overall server operations. Those bracketed with (init) cannot be changed after first run.

Database Options

Automatically create user databases on startup. This can be done on each container start, and then removed on subsequent starts if desired.

OR

Create multiple databases and different usernames and passwords to access. You can share usernames and passwords for multiple databases by using the same user and password in each entry.

Replication Options

Enable replication from a main provider to a secondary read only node or a one time snapshot that can be used for read write later on.

Monitoring Options

• Zabbix Monitoring only at this time

Networking

The following ports are exposed.

Maintenance

Inside the image are tools to perform modification on how the image runs.
