Docker Postgis database + Importer

This postgis docker container is based on the official postgres docker image version 9.5 thus using debian:jessie as underlying OS. It creates a database 'gis' owned by user 'postgres' and installs the extension postgis. Further on osmosis and osm2pgsql are installed to be able to merge multiple OSM-files and import the result with osm2pgsql to the database 'gis'.

Usage

build container:

docker build -t geofabrik/postgis .

run geofabrik/postgis container and remove it immediately after it is beeing closed

docker run --rm --name postgis -v /path/to/desired/import/data:/data/import geofabrik/postgis

or

run geofabrik/postgis container

docker run --name postgis -v /path/to/desired/import/data:/data/import geofabrik/postgis

  • add "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=super_secret_password" to set a password
  • docker stop postgis
  • docker start postgis

docker rm postgis

e. g.: docker run --rm --name postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass -v $HOME/Desktop/import:/data/import geofabrik/postgis
