Setup PostgreSQL Database Using Docker for FastAPI (Step‑by‑Step)

Description

Welcome to another video of the FastAPI Series! 🌙 In this session, we’re setting up a PostgreSQL database using Docker — the recommended and production‑ready approach for FastAPI applications. 🐘🐳 If you want a clean, reproducible, and hassle‑free database setup for your backend projects, this video is a must‑watch! By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand: ✅ Why using PostgreSQL with Docker is ideal for FastAPI projects ✅ How to set up PostgreSQL using Docker Compose ✅ How to configure database credentials and ports ✅ How to persist data using Docker volumes ✅ How to run pgAdmin to manage PostgreSQL visually ✅ How this setup fits perfectly into a FastAPI backend workflow ✅ Best practices for local development database setups 📄 docker-compose.yml services: db: image: postgres:latest container_name: postgres_db restart: always environment: POSTGRES_USER: user POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password POSTGRES_DB: todo_db ports: - "5432:5432" volumes: - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql pgadmin: image: dpage/pgadmin4 container_name: pgadmin restart: always environment: PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: admin@admin.com PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: admin123 ports: - "5050:80" depends_on: - db volumes: postgres_data: With hands‑on Docker commands, clear explanations, and real setup demos, you’ll gain the confidence to run PostgreSQL locally like a pro and integrate it seamlessly with FastAPI. 🚀 💬 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and Comment what you learned today — your support keeps these coding lessons going strong! ✨ Before you sleep, make sure you’ve learned something new. ✨ #FastAPISeries #FastAPI #PostgreSQL #Docker #DockerCompose #DatabaseSetup #BackendDevelopment #Python #LearnFastAPI #FastAPITutorial #PostgresDocker #pgAdmin #PythonProgramming #CodeBeforeYouSleep #YashJain
