Enabling SSL for PostgreSQL in Docker

postgres.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail

openssl req -new -text -passout pass:abcd -subj /CN=localhost -out server.req -keyout privkey.pem
openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -passin pass:abcd -out server.key
openssl req -x509 -in server.req -text -key server.key -out server.crt
chmod 600 server.key
test $(uname -s) = Linux && chown 70 server.key
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust -v "$(pwd)/server.crt:/var/lib/postgresql/server.crt:ro" -v "$(pwd)/server.key:/var/lib/postgresql/server.key:ro" postgres:12-alpine -c ssl=on -c ssl_cert_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.crt -c ssl_key_file=/var/lib/postgresql/server.key

sleep 1

docker run --rm -it --link postgres postgres:12-alpine psql -h postgres -U postgres

@suikast42 Yes, that's true. The self-signed cert that you created in this script will expire after a month. The CA server can renew the certificate. For the CA, you can set up smallstep/certificates open source CA server, or sign up for a hosted CA (it's free for small homelabs).

Look like cert-manager outside of k8s. Looking good.

@Istellway you are a savior. Thank you!

I found a far better solution HERE

Are the permissions different when using debian-based image?
