Kartoza is a South African company with a global footprint. We specialise in geospatial solutions with FOSS, which means we use PostGIS a lot. We deploy, host and support many instance of PostGIS for many clients in support of many different applications, on premise and in cloud. Some of these have replication and all have automatic backup regimes. To improve reliability and efficiency we do this now wholly with Docker and Rancher, all in the open. What we do seems to be pretty popular, with over a million downloads of our PostGIS Docker images.

This talk will take you through the various components required to make this work, starting with the GitHub repo where we maintain our Docker and Rancher configuration, through to automatic builds on Docker Hub, through to the Rancher control panel.
