+
+PostgreSQL Service
+==================
+
+.. note::
+
+    A shorter version of `this blog post`_.
+
+.. _this blog post: http://zaiste.net/2013/08/docker_postgresql_how_to/
+
+Installing PostgreSQL on Docker
+-------------------------------
+
+For clarity I won't be showing commands output.
+
+Run an interactive shell in Docker container.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker run -i -t base /bin/bash
+
+Update its dependencies.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    apt-get update
+
+Install ``python-software-properies``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    apt-get install python-software-properties
+    apt-get install software-properties-common
+
+Add Pitti's PostgreSQL repository. It contains the most recent stable release
+of PostgreSQL i.e. ``9.2``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    add-apt-repository ppa:pitti/postgresql
+    apt-get update
+
+Finally, install PostgreSQL 9.2
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    apt-get -y install postgresql-9.2 postgresql-client-9.2 postgresql-contrib-9.2
+
+Now, create a PostgreSQL superuser role that can create databases and other roles.
+Following Vagrant's convention the role will be named `docker` with `docker`
+password assigned to it.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo -u postgres createuser -P -d -r -s docker
+
+Create a test database also named ``docker`` owned by previously created ``docker``
+role.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo -u postgres createdb -O docker docker
+
+Adjust PostgreSQL configuration so that remote connections to the database are
+possible. Make sure that inside ``/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/pg_hba.conf`` you have
+following line:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               md5
+
+Additionaly, inside ``/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf`` uncomment
+``listen_address`` so it is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    listen_address='*'
+
+*Note:* this PostgreSQL setup is for development only purposes. Refer to
+PostgreSQL documentation how to fine-tune these settings so that it is enough
+secure.
+
+Create an image and assign it a name. ``<container_id>`` is in the Bash prompt;
+you can also locate it using ``docker ps -a``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker commit <container_id> <your username>/postgresql
+
+Finally, run PostgreSQL server via ``docker``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    CONTAINER=$(docker run -d -p 5432 \
+      -t <your username>/postgresql \
+      /bin/su postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/postgres \
+        -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main \
+        -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf')
+
+Connect the PostgreSQL server using ``psql``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    CONTAINER_IP=$(docker inspect $CONTAINER | grep IPAddress | awk '{ print $2 }' | tr -d ',"')
+    psql -h $CONTAINER_IP -p 5432 -d docker -U docker -W
+
+As before, create roles or databases if needed.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    psql (9.2.4)
+    Type "help" for help.
+
+    docker=# CREATE DATABASE foo OWNER=docker;
+    CREATE DATABASE
+
+Additionally, publish there your newly created image on Docker Index.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker login
+    Username: <your username>
+    [...]
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker push <your username>/postgresql
+
+PostgreSQL service auto-launch
+------------------------------
+
+Running our image seems complicated. We have to specify the whole command with
+``docker run``. Let's simplify it so the service starts automatically when the
+container starts.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker commit <container_id> <your username>/postgresql -run='{"Cmd": \
+      ["/bin/su", "postgres", "-c", "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/postgres -D \
+      /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main -c \
+      config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf"], PortSpecs": ["5432"]}
+
+From now on, just type ``docker run <your username>/postgresql`` and PostgreSQL
+should automatically start.
