Mysql

First start the mysql image

docker run --name lep-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -e MYSQL_USER=lportal -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=lportal -e MYSQL_DATABASE=lportal -d mysql:5.6

Then start the liferay image with a link to the database

PostgreSQL

First start the PostgreSQL image

docker run --name lep-postgresql -d postgres:9.3

Then create database and user :

docker run -it --link lep-postgresql:postgres --rm postgres:9.3 sh -c 'exec psql -h "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR" -p "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT" -U postgres'

postgres=# CREATE USER lportal WITH PASSWORD 'lportal';
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE lportal WITH ENCODING 'UTF8';
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE lportal to lportal;
postgres=# \q
