I'm releasing an experimental version of our #postgres #docker image built on top of @almalinux
It is, for the most part a drop in replacement for the official postgres docker image that runs on Debian.
It's licensed under the GNU GPLv3.
The code is experimental, so please use it at your own risk.
But if you do, please do drop me a note on your experience, and if there's anything I can do to improve it.
You can build the image from this GitHub link:

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
