PostgreSQL

docker run --name "postgresql" -p 25432:5432 -e POSTGRES_USER=your_user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=your_dbname -t -d postgres

where (you can change them on your choice):

• your_username is required PostgreSQL user
• your_password is the user’s password
• your_dbname is db’s name (notice that the missing db_name will be substituted by your_username)
• 25432 is a PORT available outside docker’s container
• postgresql is a key you can use for accessing the container

Hint: using 

25432 (or any other rarely used) port prevents conflicts

You also can install it directly to your machine using this guide

PostgreSQL + Postgis

docker run --name "postgis" -e POSTGRES_USER=your_user -e POSTGRES_DBNAME=your_dbname -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -p 25432:5432 -d -t kartoza/postgis

Hint: 

-d flag runs the container as a daemon: it starts in the background and you can continue working with the same terminal tab

where (you can change them on your choice):

• your_username is required PostgreSQL user
• your_password is the user’s password
• your_dbname is database’s name
• 25432 is a PORT available outside docker’s container
• postgis is a key you can use for accessing the container

MongoDB

docker run --name "mongodb"  -p 28777:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=your_username -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_password -d mongo

where (you can change them on your choice):

• your_username is required MongoDB admin user
• your_password is the user’s password
• 28777 is a PORT available outside docker’s container
• mongodb is a key you can use for accessing the container

Hint: 

-t flag runs a pseudo terminal, therefore you can send different commands to the container

MySQL

docker run --name "mysql" -p 23306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_password -t -d mysql/mysql-server

where (you can change them on your choice):

• your_password is the root password
• 23306 is a PORT available outside docker’s container
• mysql is a key you can use for accessing the container

Hint: you can add a volume for any container in this guide: it will store data on your machine nevertheless the container is removed or stoped, e.g. for mysql 

-v $HOME/docker/volumes/mysql:/var/lib/mysql, for postgres 

-v $HOME/docker/volumes/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Redis

docker run --name "redis" -p 26379:6379 -t -d redis

where (you can change them on your choice):

• 26379 is a PORT available outside docker’s container
• redis is a key you can use for accessing the container
