How to build postgresql-9.6 image from postgresql-9.6.1.tar.gz using dockerfile?

I tried to create below dockerfile to install postgresql-9.6 on ubuntu. But I am unable to make it a complete image?

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install software-properties-common -y && \
apt-get install wget && \
add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main" && \
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add - && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y postgresql-9.6 postgresql-client-9.6

EXPOSE 5432

So as an alternative I want to create image from tarball

The official Postgres Dockerfile does a build from source on Debian which should be largely portable to Ubuntu.

It will be easier to just use the postgres:9.6 or postgres:9.6.1 image as a seperate container to your application, rather than trying to manage a build heavy, monolithic container yourself.
