Getting Started
Complete build and install documentation is found here. The provided Dockerfiles build the containers on a Centos 7 base image and use the community PostgreSQL RPMs.
Crunchy provides a commercially supported version of these containers built upon RHEL 7 and the Crunchy supported PostgreSQL. Contact Crunchy for more details at http://www.crunchydata.com.
