Coding Shorts 109: The Magic of docker commit

[@Qrzychu92]

wow, I didn't know about docker commit. It's pretty cool :) I did something like that at work for postgres. Once a day we run a pipeline that downloads latest prod db backup, and runs a dockerfile that restores it, and we use that for integration tests. Only tip for this is when you do the restore, everything has to happen in a single RUN docker command, you can run multiple commands by joining them with &. And make sure to set the correct user for restore :)

Thank you, Shawn. Great idea. I was just looking for a better way to manage provisioning databases yesterday. Big thank you KZbin/Google algorithms for putting this on my homepage.

Hi Shawn, Thank you for publishing an interesting video. Do you have a source code for the video? I mean run.ps1 and other?

[@swildermuth]

Not really, it was very specific to my instance. I show you all the command-line commands to use to do this. Sorry.
