|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
To learn how to use this container, see the [PostgREST Docker
|
|
documentation](https://postgrest.com/en/stable/install.html#docker).
|
|
|
|
You can configure the PostgREST image by setting
|
|
[enviroment variables](https://postgrest.org/en/stable/configuration.html).
|
|
|
|
# How this image is built
|
|
|
|
The image is built from scratch using
|
|
[Nix](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-pkgs-dockerTools) instead of a
|
|
`Dockerfile`, which yields a higly secure and optimized image. This is also why
|
|
no commands are listed in the image history. See the [PostgREST
|
|
respository](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/tree/main/nix/docker) for
|
|
details on the build process and how to inspect the image.
