lukasmartinelli/natural-earth-postgis repository overview

⁠Natural Earth PostGIS database

A PostGIS⁠ Docker container populated with Natural Earth data. You can use this to quickly spin up a PostGIS database containing the full Natural Earth data set⁠ to get started with analysis.

⁠Requirements

Make sure you have installed Docker for your platform⁠.

• Install on OSX⁠
• Install on Windows⁠

⁠Usage

Now you need to start the prepared Docker container and wait until it is ready.

docker run -p 5432:5432 lukasmartinelli/natural-earth-postgis

You can also use the Kitematic GUI⁠ and search for natural earth postgis to spin up the container.

⁠Connect

You can now use psql or any other PostgreSQL client to connect to the PostGIS database naturalearth. Use the user naturalearth with the password naturalearth.

psql --host localhost --user naturalearth --db naturalearth --password

⁠Run alongside existing PostgreSQL

If you run the container on your local host and there is already PostgreSQL database running you can map the container to a different port.

docker run -p 5433:5432 lukasmartinelli/natural-earth-postgis
psql --host localhost --port 5433 --user naturalearth --db naturalearth --password

⁠Postgis Editor

To get started analyzing the data I recommend to use postgis-studio⁠.
