Docker

While PLV8 does not currently provide docker images, we do have a Dockerfile which is currently able to build PLV8 in top of an official PostgreSQL image.

PostgreSQL Versions

Currently, the Dockerfile only supports building on Debian bullseye due to v8 build requirements.

You are welcome to use this as a starting point or use it as-is.

The current Dockerfile is set up for PostgreSQL 14.5.

Building

Building v8 inside of docker requires a lot of RAM allocated per CPU. It is recommended that you have 1.5GB of RAM allocated per CPU core.

If you build, and it fails with a Segmentation Fault, it is likely due to lack of RAM available.
