The Docker Official Image packaging repository for PostgreSQL, containing the Dockerfiles and shell scripts that build the official `postgres` container images published on Docker Hub. It is maintained by the PostgreSQL Docker Community and supports all actively maintained PostgreSQL versions.
Use cases
- run postgres in docker
- spin up a local postgres database for development
- containerize postgresql for deployment
- set up postgres with docker compose
- run a disposable postgres instance for testing
- deploy postgresql in kubernetes
When to choose
- you want the canonical, community-maintained postgres container image
- you need a quick, reliable way to run PostgreSQL in containers or CI
- you want official images for all supported PostgreSQL versions across architectures
When to avoid
- you need to install PostgreSQL natively on a host rather than in a container
- you need a heavily customized or vendor-specific postgres build
- you are looking for the PostgreSQL database source code itself, which lives at git.postgresql.org
