Setting up postgres database in docker container

This section explains how to set up persistent database in docker container. To find the more info about it, please visit official postgres docker page.

1. Step

After installing docker and starting it, we will have to download postgres docker container. We'll use alpine version: docker pull postgres:alpine.

2. Step

Under docker-postgres-scripts you will find commands on how to:

• Start postgres container (postgres_docker_start.sh) First, it creates new volume, called postgres-psz in order to have database data saved when you stop the container and then it creates new container postgres-psz running on port 4321 and mounting previously created volume postgres-psz to /var/lib/postgresql/data.
• Stop the container (postgres_docker_stop.sh).
• Remove the container (postgres_container_remove.sh).
• Backup up the table properties containing scraped realestate data (postgres_container_backup.sh).
