That's essentially what Docker hub already is. you can do

docker pull postgres

and get a postgres service which runs in a container.

Nah. With command "apt-get/yum/dnf/etc. install postgress && service postgress start" I will have postgress service up and running. Command "docker pull postgress" will just download image of postgress, which I will need to run with lot of parameters, which I need to figure out.

you are kidding right?

the commands needed are right there on the docker hub page

https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/

No. I never will read this page because "yum install postgress && systemctl enable postgress" just works, even in docker container (with systemd).
