# How to extend this image

If you would like to do additional initialization in an image derived from this one, add a `*.sh` script under `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` (creating the directory if necessary). After the entrypoint calls `initdb` to create the default `postgres` user and database, it will source any `*.sh` script found in that directory to do further initialization before starting the service. If you need to execute SQL commands as part of your initialization, the use of Postgres'' [single user mode](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-postgres.html#AEN90580) is highly recommended.

However, complex sql commands, including table creation, should be done more [normally](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28244869/creating-a-table-in-single-user-mode-in-postgres).

You can also extend the image with a simple `Dockerfile` to set the locale. The folowing example will set the default locale to `de_DE.utf8`:
