How to use this image

Our images are drop-in replacements for their official Docker counterparts. Simply use these images as base images in your Dockerfile or Docker Compose specification:

database:
  image: cognirum/pgvector:17.0-alpine

Image Variants

At the moment, the only variant offered is the Alpine image, which significantly speeds up local builds and pipelines which build Docker images.

We aim to provide images for all flavors found in the official repo which make sense to us - currently this includes all Base, Alpine and Bullseye major versions for Postgres 12+.
