Compatibility Notes

This image contains the ANSI and Unicode psqlodbc drivers for use with unixODBC.

It also contains the unixodbc package and associated utilities.

The image is designed to run in FIPS environments.

Getting Started

To use this image, ensure the psqlodbc drivers are registered in an odbcinst.ini file like the following:

[PostgreSQL Unicode]
Description=PostgreSQL ODBC Driver
Driver=/usr/lib/psqlodbcw.so
[PostgreSQL ANSI]
Description=PostgreSQL ODBC Driver
Driver=/usr/lib/psqlodbca.so

Next, configure an odbc.ini file with the drivers by adding their respective names on a Driver = <name> line like this:

[PostgreSQL-Unicode-DB]
Driver = PostgreSQL Unicode
Servername = ...
Database = ...
Username = ...
Password = ...
. . .
[PostgreSQL-ANSI-DB]
Driver = PostgreSQL ANSI
Servername = ...
Database = ...
Username = ...
Password = ...
. . .

To test that the drivers are working as intended, configure the rest of odbc.ini with the appropriate settings and credentials and then try connecting with isql:

isql -v PostgreSQL-TestDB-ANSI <schemaname>

If the connection is successful, you will receive output like the following:

| sql-statement                         |
| help [tablename]                      |
| echo [string]                         |
| quit                                  |
|                                       |

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.

All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a development, or -dev, variant.

In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev variant into a more minimal production image.

Need additional packages?

To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl, or API.

To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
