Simple usage

Create a new DB:

$ dokku postgresql:create foo            # Server side
$ ssh dokku@server postgresql:create foo # Client side

-----> PostgreSQL container created: postgresql/foo

       Host: 172.17.42.1
       User: 'root'
       Password: 'RDSBYlUrOYMtndKb'
       Database: 'db'
       Public port: 49187

Deploy your app with the same name (client side):

$ git remote add dokku git@server:foo
$ git push dokku master

Link your app to the database

dokku postgresql:link app_name database_name

Advanced usage

Inititalize the database with SQL statements:

cat init.sql | dokku postgresql:create foo

Open a PostgreSQL console for specified database:

dokku postgresql:console foo

Deleting databases:

dokku postgresql:delete foo

Linking an app to a specific database:

dokku postgresql:link foo bar

PostgreSQL logs (per database):

dokku postgresql:logs foo

Database information:

dokku postgresql:info foo

List of containers:

dokku postgresql:list

Dump a database:

dokku postgresql:dump foo > foo.sql

Restore a database:

dokku postgresql:restore foo < foo.sql

In case Dokku says pg_dump not found when dumping or restoring database:

sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-9.3
