Quick Start with Docker

Pull the local instance image of PolarDB for PostgreSQL based on local storage. Create and run the container, and try PolarDB-PG instance directly:

::: code-tabs @tab DockerHub

# pull the instance image and run the container
docker pull polardb/polardb_pg_local_instance:15
docker run -it --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --privileged=true --rm polardb/polardb_pg_local_instance:15 psql
# check
postgres=# SELECT version();
                                   version
----------------------------------------------------------------------
