Official Docker images that bundle PostgreSQL with PostGIS spatial extensions preinstalled, based on the official postgres image with Debian and Alpine variants. The default database is initialized with postgis, postgis_topology, and postgis_tiger_geocoder extensions, with additional extensions available.
Use cases
- run a postgres database with postgis extensions in docker
- spin up a spatial database for a GIS application
- self-host a postgis database for geospatial queries
- set up a containerized postgres with raster and topology support
- provide a postgis database for testcontainers integration tests
- quickly provision a geospatial backend for a mapping app
When to choose
- you need a ready-made PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL database without manual extension setup
- you want official, well-maintained images with Debian and Alpine variants
- you need a disposable spatial database for local development or CI testing
When to avoid
- you need PostGIS on a non-Docker or non-amd64 platform
- you require the very latest geos, proj, or gdal versions, since Debian-based images use a cautious release cycle
- you need a fully managed database service rather than a self-hosted container
