Usage
Start PostgreSQL server with database 'dbname' a database user 'auser' protected by 'secretpwd', listening on port 5432 running this command:
docker run -p 5432:5432 --name appname-postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=auser -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secretpwd -e POSTGRES_DB=dbname -d alpine-postgresql
Link to other container to the PostgreSQL container you just created
docker run --name appname-app --link appname-postgres:postgres -d application-that-uses-postgres
Your app will now be able to access POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR and POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT environment variables.
