# Start the container and mount a local volume so you can access the shapefiles 
# In this instance I am mounting /gisdata to /gisdata in the container
docker run --name "postgis" -v /gisdata:/gisdata  -p 25432:5432 -d -t kartoza/postgis

# Attach to running container
docker exec -i -t postgis /bin/bash

# Install postgis using postgis rather than postgresql-9.5-postgis-2.2
apt-get install postgis

# Confirm that the utilities were installed
ls -la /usr/bin/ | grep shp

# Install vim, edit pg_hba.conf, and reload postgres
apt-get install vim-nox
vi /etc/postgresql/9.5/main/pg_hba.conf 
# local  all      all          peer
local  all      all          md5
service postgresql reload # DO NOT use restart

# Export data to /gisdata
pgsql2shp -u docker -P docker -f /gisdata/test.shp database table
