Basic docker postgres setup for dev.
Raw
docker_postgres.md 
docker run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Pass2020! -v postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -p 5432:5432 postgres:11-alpine

More env vars at https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres.

Hop into the container:

docker exec -it postgres bash

And use the psql repl.

psql -h localhost -U postgres

Note that postgres is the default user. Which can be overridden by POSTGRES_USER env var.

A default database is created on the name of same user which was given, else postgres is used.
