[postgis-devel] Docker and Lightweight Libraries

[Raúl Marín Rodríguez]

Hi,

> Have been playing around with Docker a lot recently and was wondering if there was any reason why there is no official PostGIS Docker repository that builds on the PostgreSQL image?

We build images for CI  where we build all the dependencies but
postgis (https://cloud.docker.com/u/postgis/repository/docker/postgis/postgis-build-env)
but not for distribution.

> While we're on the subject of Docker and containers, I thought I'd ask if there is any scope for a lightweight PostGIS library that only has the bash scripts in it? A sort of "postgis-client" type of thing, that allows you to interact with remote databases running PostGIS without having to install the entire 300MB library yourself.

I'm not sure what bash scripts you are refering too, but this looks
like a packaging request/issue. One note, the packages I build locally
including everything (binaries and libraries with full debug symbols,
update scripts...) take ~43MB so something looks suspicious in your
300MB library.
