We can use [*Link 88 Containers*](/userguide/dockerlinks), or we can access it from our host 89 (or the network). 90 91 > **Note**: 92 > The `--rm` removes the container and its image when 93 > the container exits successfully. 94 95 ### Using container linking 96 97 Containers can be linked to another container's ports directly using 98 `-link remote_name:local_alias` in the client's 99 `docker run`. This will set a number of environment 100 variables that can then be used to connect: 101 102 $ docker run --rm -t -i --link pg_test:pg eg_postgresql bash 103 104 postgres@7ef98b1b7243:/$ psql -h $PG_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR -p $PG_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT -d docker -U docker --password 105 106 ### Connecting from your host system 107 108 Assuming you have the postgresql-client installed, you can use the 109 host-mapped port to test as well. You need to use `docker ps` 110 to find out what local host port the container is mapped to 111 first: 112 113 $ docker ps 114 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 115 5e24362f27f6 eg_postgresql:latest /usr/lib/postgresql/ About an hour ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:49153->5432/tcp pg_test 116 $ psql -h localhost -p 49153 -d docker -U docker --password 117 118 ### Testing the database 119 120 Once you have authenticated and have a `docker =#` 121 prompt, you can create a table and populate it. 122 123 psql (9.3.1) 124 Type "help" for help. 125 126 $ docker=# CREATE TABLE cities ( 127 docker(# name varchar(80), 128 docker(# location point 129 docker(# ); 130 CREATE TABLE 131 $ docker=# INSERT INTO cities VALUES ('San Francisco', '(-194.0, 53.0)'); 132 INSERT 0 1 133 $ docker=# select * from cities; 134 name | location 135 ---------------+----------- 136 San Francisco | (-194,53) 137 (1 row) 138 139 ### Using the container volumes 140 141 You can use the defined volumes to inspect the PostgreSQL log files and 142 to backup your configuration and data: 143 144 $ docker run --rm --volumes-from pg_test -t -i busybox sh 145 146 / # ls 147 bin etc lib linuxrc mnt proc run sys usr 148 dev home lib64 media opt root sbin tmp var 149 / # ls /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/ 150 environment pg_hba.conf postgresql.conf 151 pg_ctl.conf pg_ident.conf start.conf 152 /tmp # ls /var/log 153 ldconfig postgresql
