    17  ## Installing PostgreSQL on Docker
    18  
    19  Assuming there is no Docker image that suits your needs on the [Docker
    20  Hub](http://hub.docker.com), you can create one yourself.
    21  
    22  Start by creating a new `Dockerfile`:
    23  
    24  > **Note**: 
    25  > This PostgreSQL setup is for development-only purposes. Refer to the
    26  > PostgreSQL documentation to fine-tune these settings so that it is
    27  > suitably secure.

    75  
    76      # Set the default command to run when starting the container
    77      CMD ["/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres", "-D", "/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main", "-c", "config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf"]
    78  
    79  Build an image from the Dockerfile assign it a name.
    80  
    81      $ docker build -t eg_postgresql .
    82  
    83  And run the PostgreSQL server container (in the foreground):
    84  
    85      $ docker run --rm -P --name pg_test eg_postgresql
    86  
    87  There are 2 ways to connect to the PostgreSQL server. 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
