Installing Postgres using Docker Container

Step1: Install Docker using Ubuntu Terminal

Command:

sudo apt install docker.io

Step 2: Check docker is available

command:

docker

Step 3: Check Docker Service is up and running.

command:

sudo service docker status

Step 4: Pull latest postgres into docker

command:

docker pull postgres

Step 5: check docker image is available

cmd: docker images

Step 6: Run the docker postgres image and validate container started running.

cmd:

sudo docker run --name psql-ultra -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=master -d postgres

sudo docker ps

Note: postgres port 5432 and ubuntu 5432 tcp port has to get update. So normal -p command with docker won't work.

Hope this helps!
