The `postgis/postgis` image provides tags for running Postgres with [PostGIS](http://postgis.net/) extensions installed. This image is based on the official [`postgres`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/postgres/) image and provides debian and alpine variants for PostGIS 3.4.x for each supported version of Postgres (11, 12, 13, 14 and 15). Additionally, an image version is provided which is built from the latest two versions of Postgres (14, 15) with versions of PostGIS and its dependencies built from their respective master branches.
