PostgreSQL Non-Durable Docker Images

Non-durable settings are usually desired for application integration testing with a Postgres database so that tests can run significantly faster. This project is intented for building Docker images for PostgreSQL database containers with non-durable settings enabled.

When creating the container, ensure that the data volume /var/lib/postgresql/data is mountied using tmpfs
