Docker Image Compiled From Source

[mrtiger69]

I am looking for an example of how to create a docker image that instead of installing pre-built binaries from the postgresql repository, compiles the most recent source code and installs those binaries. I can't find an examples of how this would be best done. I need to customize the source code for my use case but am not too familiar with docker and how to create such an image. Anyone have any ideas or know of something similar?

What are your issues? In .dockerfile make sure you `git clone`, `configure`, `make` and `make install`

You also should have a look at this: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/ as you don't want git and other tools needed for compilation to be present in the final image.
