Now join your application container to the same network:
Start your Postgres container with a connection to the network by using the -network flag with docker run: This avoids binding the Postgres server's port and potentially exposing the service to your host's wider network. Use this to quickly interact with your database from a PostgreSQL shell within the container.ĭocker exec -it postgres psql -U postgres Connecting From Other Docker ContainersĬreating a Docker network is the preferred way to access PostgreSQL from other containers on the same host. The Docker image also includes the psql binary which you can invoke with docker exec. Without one you'll use your data when the container stops. You should use a volume to store your database outside the container. A named volume called postgres is referenced Docker will either create it or reattach the volume if it already exists. The -v flag is used to mount a Docker volume to the PostgreSQL container's data directory. The username defaults to postgres but can be changed by setting the POSTGRES_USER environment variable.
#DOCKER POSTGRES CREATE DATABASE PASSWORD#
This defines the password which will be assigned to Postgres' default superuser account. You must supply a value for the POSTGRES_PASSWORD environment variable. Start a PostgreSQL container using the docker run command:
#DOCKER POSTGRES CREATE DATABASE FREE#
