A Dockerfile and supporting scripts that build a ready-to-run PostgreSQL container image, configurable via environment variables for users, databases, extensions, and replication. It supports data persistence, backups, snapshots, and linking with other containers.

Use cases

• run postgresql in docker
• self-host a postgres database container
• set up postgres replication cluster with docker
• create a postgres container with persistent data volume
• dockerized postgres for application containers to link to
• backup and snapshot postgres running in a container

When to choose

• you want a preconfigured, env-var-driven PostgreSQL container with persistence and replication support
• you need to link a PostgreSQL container to other containers in a Docker Compose or linked-container setup
• you want simple containerized backups and snapshots for Postgres

When to avoid

• you prefer official Postgres images or Kubernetes operators for production clusters
• you need a managed database service rather than self-managed containers
• you need databases other than PostgreSQL
