Centos+Postgresql (Docker)

To share the experiences to create docker containers of databases, for stream duplication of data via master and slave.

• Windows home additon does not support Docker ce for windows.
  • You may encounter error when installing Docker with the installer downloaded from the official website.
    

• Database services should be run standalone when the new container is created.
  • You may encounter D-Bus failure when you want to run the "posgresql*.*-setup initdb". This is solvable if your create a standalone command when creating the new container.
    

~$ sudo docker run -d --name=containername --privileged=true imagename:tagname /usr/sbin/init

• • "run" is equavilent to "create";
    
  • -d means the command is working at background;
    
  • --name gives the name of your container;
    
  • --privileged specifies the root privilege in the container;
    
  • imagename:tagname gives the image used to create the container;
    
  • /usr/sbin/init is the guard process running for -d.
    
• "exec" works better than "attach".
  • attach does not have rich options to run script in the container.
