docker-python-redshift-connector

Contains a barebones install of Python 3 (on Alpine) with psycopg2, enabling quick connectivity to Redshift. Psycopg2 is not the easiest thing to install correctly on most machines and requires quite a few dependencies. This image provides a quick way to establish a connection to check a first-pass of a script or to serve as a base for more complete containerized applications.

To Use

Pull Pre-built Image from Dockerhub

This image is already built on Dockerhub. Alter the example.py script in this directory, providing all parameters, or exporting the following as environment variables:

• DBHOST
• DBUSER
• DBPASS
• DBNAME

Only exporting the DBPASS value (and modifying the other values in the script), an invocation would look like:

$ export DBPASS=...
$ docker run -e DBPASS=$DBPASS -v $(pwd):/app \
    docker.io/geekmuse/python-redshift-connector:0.0.1 example.py

This should connect to your cluster, assuming your local machine has a valid network path to your cluster.

Docker tags follow version tags on this repository.

Build Your Own

With a GNU-compatible make installed:

Alter variable values as appropriate at the head of the Makefile, and:

$ make build

How you call the image from a docker run will depend on what you set the IMAGE_NAME value to in the Makefile.
