How to use zaiste/postgresql Docker container.
Docker >= 0.5.0 required.
docker pull zaiste/postgresql
CONTAINER=$(docker run -d zaiste/postgresql)
CONTAINER_IP=$(docker inspect $CONTAINER | grep IPAddress | awk '{ print $2 }' | tr -d ',"')
psql -h $CONTAINER_IP -p 5432 -d docker -U docker -W
password for user docker:
psql (9.2.4)
Type "help" for help.
docker=# create database foo owner=docker;
CREATE DATABASE
I am able to log into psql as the 'docker' user with password 'docker' but it appears that this user doesn't have any permissions to create users or databases. Am I supposed to connect to the shell, start postgres, create my users/db, then create new image?
@asbjornenge thanks I've just corrected the gist
@jwarzech I've just simplified the script and made docker superuser with ability to create roles and databases.
I've got a recommendation for parsing out the ip address.
I installed the jq command line tool like so...
curl -o jq http://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/linux64/jq
chmod +x jq
sudo mv jq /usr/local/binNow, instead of using grep, awk, and tr, you can run the following...
CONTAINER_IP=$(sudo docker inspect $POSTGRES_CONTAINER | jq -r '.[0].NetworkSettings.IPAddress')The -r switch means give the raw output, otherwise the command will put quotes around the ip address.
Just tried running zaiste/postgresql and it immediately exited status one. Jumping on it with /bin/bash and running which postgres gives nothing found, but which psql does show up.
You could also do this to get the IP
$ docker inspect --format='{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}' $INSTANCE_ID
Was trying to do the Atlassian Jira in Docker, but getting image invalid for 27cf784147099545 in zaiste/postgresql.
Same error..
[root@localhost atlassian-docker]# docker pull zaiste/postgresql
Trying to pull repository docker.io/zaiste/postgresql ...
0e66fd3d6a6f: Error pulling image (latest) from docker.io/zaiste/postgresql, image ID '27cf784147099545' is invalid 27cf78414709: Error downloading dependent layers failed
Error pulling image (latest) from docker.io/zaiste/postgresql, image ID '27cf784147099545' is invalid
Just grabbing the latest postgresql image does the job
docker search postgresql
Then of course update your docker run command .. we should have used naming adequately.. the wiki is way outdated
docker run -d --name postgres -p=5432:5432 paintedfox/postgresql
The original post that caused some of these questions to be asked is http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/11/docker-all-the-things-at-atlassian-automation-and-wiring/ ... I'll have to give'em a nudge as well as zaiste's docker image in the repo (https://hub.docker.com/r/zaiste/postgresql/).
Best of luck!
I had to grep for IPAddress when I tried this just now on 0.5.0. Ref my fork. https://gist.github.com/asbjornenge/6078779
