Is the pull from Git Lab? or Git Hub?

By default, Apache2 is configured to allow CGI scripts in the /usr/lib/cgi-bin system directory, but rather than installing the script there, let’s use our own directory to serve from:

Having the pre settings of scripts for Apache2-- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35430121/setting-up-apache2-to-execute-cgi-scripts
for the initial setup OK for the stack? As answered on link.
Worked for me or is this miss leading? I have Server and just learning.!
I am able to configure your method… Security matters.

Hi bernard010, thanks for trying the docs out. I’ve posted a new revision with a number of fixes and recommend starting again from the top.

Is the pull from Git Lab? or Git Hub?

Those pulls are from docker hub, actually.

Appreciate any further questions or feedback you may have.

Install Docker

That title should read “Install docker-composer” I think.

Andreas, I’ve incorporated that change, and addressed your feedback on the other pages of the tutorial. Thanks again for the reviews!

But the /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ directory will look unusual – this is a special directory provided by Ubuntu’s Postgres Docker container that will automatically run .sql (or .sql.gz or .sql.xz) and .sh files through the psql interpreter during initialization, in POSIX alphanumerical order. In our case we have a single .sql file that we want invoked during initialization.

This has been explained in the previous section. I think you can just mention the directory here and refer to the previous explanation, and even improve that explanation while at it (this one does a good job at explaining how the .sql files are loaded, IMHO).

Hi!
There is a small mistake in the tutorial. The step of cloning the repository has a wrong url:

git clone https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-server/ubuntu-docker-images/+git/postgresql my-postgresql-oci

Instead, it should be

git clone https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-docker-images/ubuntu-docker-images/+git/postgresql my-postgresql-oci

The ~canonical-server part of the first path is wrong. Maybe it was an internal path? Anyway, the second command works as it should!

Thank you for the notice, I updated the URLs. Indeed they are not working anymore, I think the repository was moved at some point.
