This PR aims to add a production service for postgresql.

Changes:

  • Update docker service for prostgresql in order to have it ready for production
  • uses named volume for the postgresql data
  • add scripts for restoring and dump

it resolves #105

Assumptions:

  • In order to avoid any problems with the current postgresql server, it would be better to have a solution that would be easily switchable.
  • using docker bind mount approach, it maybe could corrupt the current postgresql data folder on host in the setup (if something goes wrong)
  • using docker bind mount approach, the backup would be easier
  • using named volume approach, it is easy to switch to a cloud storage, or copy the entire volume to other containers, etc
  • we can use the same strategy for staging and production and keep the production data safe
  • bind mount, example: - /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
  • named volume, example: - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata

@fccoelho after some investigation I decided to pick the named volume approach.

Sounds good to me

We need to validate this well in the staging server, so that we don't risk interruption of our service.

I need to rebase and finish that. Also, we will need something for the backup
