## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, container-runtime, self-hosted, backup
- domain: databases, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: postgresql, docker-image, containerization, replication, database-container, containers, devops, docker, linux
