pgcli-docker

Thin wrapper around pgcli (https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli). The default entrypoint is ["pgcli"].

Usage

docker run -it --rm --network container:$postgres_container_network danihodovic/pgcli -h postgres -U postgres

You can also use the zsh/bash hack below to connect to an image that is running postgres. It only works if there is a container running named *postgres*.

function pgcli-docker () {
  postgres_container_names=$(docker ps | awk '{print $NF}' | grep postgres)
  lines=$(echo $postgres_container_names | wc -l)
  if [ "$lines" -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "No container with a name containing 'postgres' running"
    exit 1
  fi
  if [ "$lines" -gt 1 ]; then
    echo "More than one postgres container running: \n$postgres_container_names"
    exit 1
  fi

  docker run -it --rm --network container:$postgres_container_names danihodovic/pgcli -h postgres -U postgres
}
