Starting the PostgreSQL Docker container with default configurations

Default host name

When you start by using the default configurations, the PostgreSQL Docker container  host name is postgresql.

Mandatory parameters

app-secure.properties

A boot configuration file, app-secure.properties, is also required to be passed in by volume to initialize some database configurations in order to connect to PostgreSQL. The contents of this configuration file depend on whether or not you want to enable secure SSL connectivity to the database.

• For an SSL enabled database:

  spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql:5432/comdb?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.DefaultJavaSSLFactory spring.datasource.username=hclcom  
  spring.datasource.password=user-password 
  spring.datasource.hikari.schema=hclcom spring.flyway.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql:5432/comdb?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.DefaultJavaSSLFactory  
  spring.flyway.user=hclcom  
  spring.flyway.password=user-password 
  spring.flyway.default-schema=hclcom

• For a non-SSL enabled database:

  spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql:5432/comdb spring.datasource.username=hclcom
  spring.datasource.password=user-password
  spring.datasource.hikari.schema=hclcom spring.flyway.url=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql:5432/comdb
  spring.flyway.user=hclcom
  spring.flyway.password=user-password
  spring.flyway.default-schema=hclcom
