Installing PostgreSQL on Docker
-------------------------------
Run an interactive shell in a Docker container.
Assuming there is no Docker image that suits your needs in `the index`_, you
can create one yourself.
.. code-block:: bash
.. _the index: http://index.docker.io
sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
Update its dependencies.
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get update
Install ``python-software-properties``, ``software-properties-common``, ``wget`` and ``vim``.
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get -y install python-software-properties software-properties-common wget vim
Add PostgreSQL's repository. It contains the most recent stable release
of PostgreSQL, ``9.3``.
.. code-block:: bash
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
apt-get update
Finally, install PostgreSQL 9.3
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get -y install postgresql-9.3 postgresql-client-9.3 postgresql-contrib-9.3
Now, create a PostgreSQL superuser role that can create databases and
other roles. Following Vagrant's convention the role will be named
``docker`` with ``docker`` password assigned to it.
.. code-block:: bash
su postgres -c "createuser -P -d -r -s docker"
Create a test database also named ``docker`` owned by previously created ``docker``
role.
.. code-block:: bash
su postgres -c "createdb -O docker docker"
Adjust PostgreSQL configuration so that remote connections to the
database are possible. Make sure that inside
``/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf`` you have following line:
.. code-block:: bash
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
Additionaly, inside ``/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf``
uncomment ``listen_addresses`` like so:
.. code-block:: bash
listen_addresses='*'
Start by creating a new Dockerfile:
.. note::
This PostgreSQL setup is for development only purposes. Refer
to PostgreSQL documentation how to fine-tune these settings so that it
is secure enough.
to the PostgreSQL documentation to fine-tune these settings so that it
is suitably secure.
Exit.
.. literalinclude:: postgresql_service.Dockerfile
Build an image from the Dockerfile assign it a name.
.. code-block:: bash
exit
$ sudo docker build -t eg_postgresql .
Create an image from our container and assign it a name. The ``<container_id>``
is in the Bash prompt; you can also locate it using ``docker ps -a``.
And run the PostgreSQL server container (in the foreground):
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker commit <container_id> <your username>/postgresql
$ sudo docker run -rm -P -name pg_test eg_postgresql
Finally, run the PostgreSQL server via ``docker``.
There are 2 ways to connect to the PostgreSQL server. We can use
:ref:`working_with_links_names`, or we can access it from our host (or the network).
.. note:: The ``-rm`` removes the container and its image when the container
exists successfully.
Using container linking
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Containers can be linked to another container's ports directly using
``-link remote_name:local_alias`` in the client's ``docker run``. This will
set a number of environment variables that can then be used to connect:
.. code-block:: bash
CONTAINER=$(sudo docker run -d -p 5432 \
-t <your username>/postgresql \
/bin/su postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres \
-D /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main \
-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf')
$ sudo docker run -rm -t -i -link pg_test:pg eg_postgresql bash
Connect the PostgreSQL server using ``psql`` (You will need the
postgresql client installed on the machine. For ubuntu, use something
like ``sudo apt-get install postgresql-client``).
postgres@7ef98b1b7243:/$ psql -h $PG_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR -p $PG_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT -d docker -U docker --password
Connecting from your host system
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Assuming you have the postgresql-client installed, you can use the host-mapped port
to test as well. You need to use ``docker ps`` to find out what local host port the
container is mapped to first:
.. code-block:: bash
CONTAINER_IP=$(sudo docker inspect -format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' $CONTAINER)
psql -h $CONTAINER_IP -p 5432 -d docker -U docker -W
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
5e24362f27f6 eg_postgresql:latest /usr/lib/postgresql/ About an hour ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:49153->5432/tcp pg_test
$ psql -h localhost -p 49153 -d docker -U docker --password
As before, create roles or databases if needed.
Testing the database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once you have authenticated and have a ``docker =#`` prompt, you can
create a table and populate it.
.. code-block:: bash
psql (9.3.1)
Type "help" for help.
docker=# CREATE DATABASE foo OWNER=docker;
CREATE DATABASE
docker=# CREATE TABLE cities (
docker(# name varchar(80),
docker(# location point
docker(# );
CREATE TABLE
docker=# INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('San Francisco', '(-194.0, 53.0)');
INSERT 0 1
docker=# select * from cities;
name | location
---------------+-----------
San Francisco | (-194,53)
(1 row)
Additionally, publish your newly created image on the Docker Index.
Using the container volumes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can use the defined volumes to inspect the PostgreSQL log files and to backup your
configuration and data:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker login
Username: <your username>
[...]
docker run -rm --volumes-from pg_test -t -i busybox sh
.. code-block:: bash
/ # ls
bin etc lib linuxrc mnt proc run sys usr
dev home lib64 media opt root sbin tmp var
/ # ls /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/
environment pg_hba.conf postgresql.conf
pg_ctl.conf pg_ident.conf start.conf
/tmp # ls /var/log
ldconfig postgresql
sudo docker push <your username>/postgresql
PostgreSQL service auto-launch
------------------------------
Running our image seems complicated. We have to specify the whole command with
``docker run``. Let's simplify it so the service starts automatically when the
container starts.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker commit -run='{"Cmd": \
["/bin/su", "postgres", "-c", "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres -D \
/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main -c \
config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf"], "PortSpecs": ["5432"]}' \
<container_id> <your username>/postgresql
From now on, just type ``docker run <your username>/postgresql`` and
PostgreSQL should automatically start.
