Run Postgis in Docker with ARM cpu.

Setup

Let's bring the container up. Image will not exist, so it will build. But we can force a build with --build. We'll start detached, but we also want to see logs, hence the 2nd instruction.

docker compose up -d --build ; docker compose logs -f

We didn't create a .env file, because we have default values for username and password. If you want to customize the values, just run:

cp .env.example .env

And now you customize the values there. They will be used in the docker-compose file, instead of the defaults.

Now, let's install Postgis and make sure it's installed:

docker compose exec db psql -U myusername -d mydatabase -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'
docker compose exec db psql -U myusername -d mydatabase -c 'SELECT postgis_version()'

If all went well, you should see some output like:

## postgis_version

3.4 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1
(1 row)

Happy building!
