I’m a fan of disposable sandboxes using Vagrant and VirtualBox.

I’ve been using Postgres on the job for nearly a year, and a while back I decided it was time to have a dedicated Postgres instance on my personal computer, on a virtual machine, just to play around with.

I’m using a Mac, but the steps below should work without change for Windows or Linux. Let me know in the comments if you run into any problems following these steps!
