Install / Update / Run Script

Setup a generic script that'll auto update, build a container and launch it. You should only run this script at first launch and/or when you're looking for updates.

If you are running your operating system from a Micro SD Card, You may wish to store your data directory on a USB drive to reduce the number of writes to the SD card. If you do so, don't forget to change the volume mount path when starting the docker container.

# Create directory for postgres to store data. 
# Alternatively, create a directory on a USB drive
mkdir -p /var/postgres/data
