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):
