To restore a PostgreSQL database using Docker on a Windows operating system, you can follow these steps:
Start the PostgreSQL container:
cssdocker run -d --name my-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -p 5432:5432 postgres
Copy the backup file to the container:
Place the backup file (e.g.,backup.sql
) in a directory on your Windows host machine.Use
docker cp
to copy the backup file from the host to the container:bashdocker cp C:\path\to\backup.sql my-postgres:/backup.sql
Connect to the container and restore the database:
bashdocker exec -it my-postgres psql -U postgres -d mydatabase -f /backup.sql
Replace
mydatabase
with the name of the database you want to restore, andpostgres
with the appropriate database user if different.
That's it! The PostgreSQL database should now be restored from the backup file.
