Hi Adrian, I see nowhere in your init-master.sh where Postgres is restarted.
Yes, you're right. The base image takes care of that –– the base image of mdillon/postgis is postgres:9.3. See here, for instance: https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/blob/master/9.3/docker-entrypoint.sh#L70 When the startup command –– CMD in Docker lingo –– is "postgres" it does a bunch of initialization operations, and then runs the user procided scripts in the /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory. Then finally it starts up the postgres process with *gosu postgres "$@". * The gosu is a wrapper that passes user commands to the end process, i.e. postgres, and I'm not sure what $@ is but I think it's to give the user a shell. -- *Volkan Unsal* *web and mobile development* volkanunsal.com <http://bit.ly/1h1ebjy>
