PostgREST Docker Image

PostgREST serves a fully RESTful API from any existing PostgreSQL database. It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch.

Installation

The easiest way to get this docker image installed is to pull the latest version from the Docker registry:

docker pull suzel/docker-postgrest

or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/suzel/docker-postgrest.git
cd docker-postgrest/
docker build -t suzel/docker-postgrest --build-arg POSTGREST_VERSION=7.0.1 .

Usage

Start your image binding external port 3000 in all interfaces to your container:

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.1"

services:
  # https://github.com/suzel/docker-postgrest
  postgrest:
    build:
      context: .
      args:
        POSTGREST_VERSION: "7.0.1"
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
