This image uses volumes and environment variables to control the postgresql server configuration.

You pass with -v docker option. Don't forget to use absolute path here.

Environment variable:

• POSTGRESQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: Root password.
• POSTGRESQL_DATABASE: Database name.
• POSTGRESQL_USER: If POSTGRESQL_DATABASE is specified create a user.
• POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD: Password for POSTGRESQL_USER.
• POSTGRESQL_CHARACTER_SET: Character set for POSTGRESQL_DATABASE.
