Description:

Hello there,

Below are complete steps for building Postgres from source in a clean docker
ubuntu container.

Maybe this is useful for your docs? I noticed the 'Chapter 17. Installation
from Source Code' doesn't discuss many common dependency issues like ICU and
Zlib.

If you would like a write up, I can contribute.

Thanks,
Sundip

docker pull ubuntu
docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash ubuntu
