postgresql
| Version | 2026.144.1531 |
| Repo | superproject |
A Docker-compatible PostgreSQL server that self-initializes its cluster and accepts client connections. Installs the PostgreSQL server (postgres, initdb, pg_ctl), the psql client + pg_isready readiness probe, and the pgvector similarity-search extension. A generated entrypoint wrapper (/usr/local/bin/postgresql-entrypoint.sh) performs first-run initdb, database creation, password handling, and /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d processing, then execs the server on a unix socket under ~/.postgresql listening on 127.0.0.1:5432. Every behaviour below is observable: the binaries on disk, the executable entrypoint, and a live server whose cluster was initialized and that answers pg_isready. Deploy-scope steps stay auth-independent so the scenario holds for every box composing this candy (consumers such as immich override POSTGRES_USER/POSTGRES_DB).
