Dockerfile and init scripts for an alpine postgis image

About

Simple alpine postgis Dockerfile - lightweight and easy to use. Makes use of apk's packages unlike most of the postgis dockerfiles.

NOTE: Recent changes have broken the build, don't use this for anything yet. Will mark as release 1.0.0 when it's stable.

Setup

From source: git clone https://github.com/scook12/alpine-postgis-docker

docker build -t userName/repoName .

docker run --name some-alpine-postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=super_secret_key -d userName/repoName

From dockerhub: docker pull cooksamuel/alpine-postgis

docker run --name some-alpine-postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=super_secret_key -d cooksamuel/alpine-postgis

Use

These two get you into a psql prompt:

docker start some-alpine-postgis

docker run -it --link some-alpine-postgis:postgres --rm postgres \

sh -c "exec psql -h '$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR' -p '$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT' -U postgres"

Then run \dx which should show plpgsql and postgis version 2.5.3 in a list of installed extensions.
