This was originally developed as a proof-of-concept to be used for a live database migration. You can use this to launch a local testing environment using docker compose.
Three containers are launched by this compose file:
- Two PostgreSQL containers (primary and secondary) with pglogical installed and loaded.
- One pgAdmin container that can be used run queries against the databases.
The credentials for the databases and pgAdmin can be configured using the
following environment variables. Note that the value of POSTGRES_USER will be
used for database name.
| Variable | Default |
|---|---|
| POSTGRES_USER | postgres |
| POSTGRES_PASSWORD | postgres |
| PGADMIN_EMAIL | pgadmin@example.com |
| PGADMIN_PASSWORD | pgadmin |
pgAdmin should be available via localhost:8080. Log in using the credentials you provided or use the defaults above. Both database servers have already been added to pgAdmin, but you will need to specify the database password when connecting for the first time.
