 1 | # Using multiple databases with the official PostgreSQL Docker image
 2 | 
 3 | The [official recommendation](https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/) for creating
 4 | multiple databases is as follows:
 5 | 
 6 | *If you would like to do additional initialization in an image derived from
 7 | this one, add one or more `*.sql`, `*.sql.gz`, or `*.sh` scripts under
 8 | `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` (creating the directory if necessary). After the
 9 | entrypoint calls `initdb` to create the default `postgres` user and database,
10 | it will run any `*.sql` files and source any `*.sh` scripts found in that
11 | directory to do further initialization before starting the service.*
12 | 
13 | This directory contains a script to create multiple databases using that
14 | mechanism.
15 | 
16 | ## Usage
17 | 
18 | ### By mounting a volume
19 | 
20 | Clone the repository, mount its directory as a volume into
21 | `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` and declare database names separated by commas in
22 | `POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES` environment variable as follows
23 | (`docker-compose` syntax):
24 | 
25 |     myapp-postgresql:
26 |         image: postgres:9.6.2
27 |         volumes:
28 |             - ../docker-postgresql-multiple-databases:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
29 |         environment:
30 |             - POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES: db1,db2
31 |             - POSTGRES_USER: myapp
32 |             - POSTGRES_PASSWORD:
33 | 
34 | ### By building a custom image
35 | 
36 | Clone the repository, build and push the image to your Docker repository,
37 | for example for Google Private Repository do the following:
38 | 
39 |     docker build --tag=eu.gcr.io/your-project/postgres-multi-db .
40 |     gcloud docker -- push eu.gcr.io/your-project/postgres-multi-db
41 | 
42 | You still need to pass the `POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES` environment variable
43 | to the container:
44 | 
45 |     myapp-postgresql:
46 |         image: eu.gcr.io/your-project/postgres-multi-db
47 |         environment:
48 |             - POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES: db1,db2
49 |             - POSTGRES_USER: myapp
50 |             - POSTGRES_PASSWORD:
51 | 
52 | ### Non-standard database names
53 | 
54 | If you need to use non-standard database names (hyphens, uppercase letters etc), quote them in `POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES`:
55 | 
56 |         environment:
57 |             - POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES: "test-db-1","test-db-2"
58 |

/create-multiple-postgresql-databases.sh:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 | #!/bin/bash
 2 | 
 3 | set -e
 4 | set -u
 5 | 
 6 | function create_user_and_database() {
 7 | 	local database=$1
 8 | 	echo "  Creating user and database '$database'"
 9 | 	psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --username "$POSTGRES_USER" <<-EOSQL
10 | 	    CREATE USER $database;
11 | 	    CREATE DATABASE $database;
12 | 	    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE $database TO $database;
13 | EOSQL
14 | }
15 | 
16 | if [ -n "$POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES" ]; then
17 | 	echo "Multiple database creation requested: $POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES"
18 | 	for db in $(echo $POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES | tr ',' ' '); do
19 | 		create_user_and_database $db
20 | 	done
21 | 	echo "Multiple databases created"
22 | fi
