Postgresql

Postgresql is world most popular database. This image is based on official DockerHub image (ver [14.11]). This readme focuses on Intel added scripts and configurations. Please refer to original readme regarding usage of this image.

Usage

This image can be used almost exactly like the official DockerHub Postgresql image, with following differences:

1. Run with --privileged flag. \ Some of optimizations are implemented as low-level kernel configuration, \ To use it the Container have to be executed with escalated privileges
2. Postgresql configurations are passed using /usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample file. When adding extra configuration remember to include those already present in postgresql.conf file.

# build image
docker build . -t postgresql-base:your-tag --build-arg http_proxy --build-arg https_proxy --build-arg no_proxy --network=host
# run container using built image
docker run --name some-postgresql -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw --privileged -d postgresql-base:your-tag
