PostgreSQL Service
==================
.. note::
A shorter version of `this blog post`_.
.. note::
As of version 0.5.2, docker requires root privileges to run.
You have to either manually adjust your system configuration (permissions on
/var/run/docker.sock or sudo config), or prefix `docker` with `sudo`. Check
`this thread`_ for details.

Installing PostgreSQL on Docker
-------------------------------
For clarity I won't be showing commands output.
Run an interactive shell in Docker container.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
Update its dependencies.
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get update
Install ``python-software-properies``.
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get install python-software-properties
apt-get install software-properties-common
Add Pitti's PostgreSQL repository. It contains the most recent stable release
of PostgreSQL i.e. ``9.2``.
.. code-block:: bash
add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
apt-get update
Finally, install PostgreSQL 9.2
.. code-block:: bash
apt-get -y install postgresql-9.2 postgresql-client-9.2 postgresql-contrib-9.2
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
sudo -u postgres createuser -P -d -r -s docker
Create a test database also named ``docker`` owned by previously created ``docker``
role.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -u postgres createdb -O docker docker
Adjust PostgreSQL configuration so that remote connections to the
database are possible. Make sure that inside
``/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/pg_hba.conf`` you have following line:
.. code-block:: bash
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5
Additionaly, inside ``/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf``
uncomment ``listen_addresses`` so it is as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
listen_addresses='*'
*Note:* this PostgreSQL setup is for development only purposes. Refer
to PostgreSQL documentation how to fine-tune these settings so that it
is enough secure.
Create an image and assign it a name. ``<container_id>`` is in the
Bash prompt; you can also locate it using ``docker ps -a``.
.. code-block:: bash
docker commit <container_id> <your username>/postgresql
Finally, run PostgreSQL server via ``docker``.
.. code-block:: bash
CONTAINER=$(sudo docker run -d -p 5432 \
-t <your username>/postgresql \
/bin/su postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/postgres \
-D /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main \
-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf')
Connect the PostgreSQL server using ``psql``.
.. code-block:: bash
CONTAINER_IP=$(sudo docker inspect $CONTAINER | grep IPAddress | awk '{ print $2 }' | tr -d ',"')
psql -h $CONTAINER_IP -p 5432 -d docker -U docker -W
As before, create roles or databases if needed.
.. code-block:: bash
psql (9.2.4)
Type "help" for help.
docker=# CREATE DATABASE foo OWNER=docker;
CREATE DATABASE
Additionally, publish there your newly created image on Docker Index.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo docker login
Username: <your username>
[...]
.. code-block:: bash
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 <container_id> <your username>/postgresql -run='{"Cmd": \
["/bin/su", "postgres", "-c", "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/postgres -D \
/var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main -c \
config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf"], PortSpecs": ["5432"]}
From now on, just type ``docker run <your username>/postgresql`` and
PostgreSQL should automatically start.
