Docker postgres db to local volume/drive for persistent storage permanently

Hi all,

Today, I would be explaining the way to maintain the DB with data persistent when connecting to docker.

System Status

Postgresql DB container is in Docker
Windows 10 PC
Linux containers

Issue

Whenever I restart docker/PC the database wiped off due to container is stopped.

Solution

Create a docker volume

Syntax: docker volume create <>
Example: docker volume create pgdata

Start the container with volume option

Syntax: docker run --rm --name <> -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<> -d -p 5432:5432 -v <>:/var/lib/postgresql/data <>
Example: docker run --rm --name pgcontainer -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=MyPassword -d -p 5432:5432 -v pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres

Now, you can run all your database commands

Upon restart also, your data should be safe.

Thanks for reading the blog post.

Capture localhost (127.0.0.1) system packets using RawCap

Hi friends,

Today I am going to share the knowledge of capturing network packets in local system i.e. localhost.

Using RawCap utility, you can capture the loopback adapter packets which are our localhost packets.

Procedure

Download the RawCap.exe from Netresec website url
http://www.netresec.com/?page=RawCap
Once you download it
Open command prompt with administrator privileges
You have the following options while running the RawCap.exe

Syntax

RawCap.exe
-c <-> Stop capturing after the specified packet count reached
-f <-> Flush each packet without buffering
-s <-> Stop capturing after the specified time limit

Example 1:
RawCap.exe 127.0.0.1 dump.pcap
Note: Ctrl + C to stop the capturing

Example 2:
RawCap.exe -c 1000 127.0.0.1 dump.pcap
After 1000 packets, the capturing will stop
