PostgreSQL, often simply Postgres, is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.

===Deploying PostgreSQL on a Docker Container===

====Install Docker CE on Ubuntu====
 
Docker is a technology that allows us to run containers. A container is a self-contained environment. A container can contain aspecific operating system, software packages, and configuration.
 
 
We are going to install the Docker community edition (AKA Docker CE).

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
 
 
Please note that you will be required to create an account. After installing Docker, you might have to restart your computer.

====Postgres docker installation====
 
After installing Docker, you are going to need to download the Docker image for Postgres 9.5. You can do this using the following command:
 
 
sudo docker pull postgres:9.5
 
 
You can then use the following command to see the list of all the Docker images installed on your computer:
 
 
sudo docker images
 
 
'''Setting environment variables:'''
 
In Linux and MacIn Mac and Linux we can use the following commands in Bash to create environment variables:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
 
export DATABASE_USER=postgres
 
export DATABASE_PASSWORD=secret
 
export DATABASE_HOST=localhost
 
export DATABASE_PORT=5432
 
export DATABASE_DB=demo
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
The Postgres 9.5 image should be displayed in the list. At this point, we need to run a Docker container. Each container is arunning instance of an image. We can have multiple containers running of a given image, but this time we will only run onecontainer because we don't need two instances of Postgres. We can create a Docker container with the Postgres image using thefollowing command:
 
 
sudo docker run --name POSTGRES_USER -p "$DATABASE_PORT":"$DATABASE_PORT" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="$DATABASE_PASSWORD" -e POSTGRES_USER="$DATABASE_USER" -e POSTGRES_DB="$DATABASE_DB" -d postgres:9.5
 
 
 
<br />
 
====Docker basics====
 
We have already learned how to download Docker images using the «docker pull» command and how to create a container using the «docker run» command. We will now learn about other basic Docker commands. We can use the «docker ps» command to see all the containers in our machine:
 
 
sudo docker ps -a
 
 
We should be able to see the Postgres container running.

Each container and image has an associated ID that looks like the following:
 
c6f7dfc1a4c8
 
 
We can use the following command to stop a running Docker container:
 
sudo docker stop INSERT_CONTAINER_ID_HERE
 
sudo docker stop c6f7dfc1a4c8
 
 
Similarly, we can run a Docker container using the start command:
 
sudo docker start c6f7dfc1a4c8
 
 
Please note that the run command is used to create a new Docker container while the start command is used to run an existingDocker container given its ID.
 
 
We can use the following command to remove a Docker container:
 
sudo docker rm c6f7dfc1a4c8
 
 
Please note that before you can remove a Docker container, you must stop it. The following command can be used to remove aDocker image:
 
sudo docker rmi INSERT_IMAGE_ID_HERE
 
 
Please note that before you can remove a Docker image, you must stop and remove all its associated containers.
