Overview
docker-postgis is a Dockerfile and image setup for running PostgreSQL with the PostGIS spatial extension in a container. It gives you a geospatial database that is ready to use, for example with QGIS. The image supports SSL and enforces SSL client connections, restricts connections to the Docker subnet, and creates a default database named gis. The README covers running it with a terminal command or docker-compose.
Key features
- PostgreSQL with PostGIS in one container
- SSL support with SSL client connections enforced
- Connections restricted to the Docker subnet
- Default database named gis created on start
- Run from the terminal or with docker-compose
