Hello,

As the title suggests, how do you manage your DBs for docker services.

Do you spin a new DB for every new docker cluster or do you have a centralized DB that is accessible to the docker clusters.

What are the pros and cons of both method?

For the moment, I spin a new DB for every services as I feel it is easier to backup the service in case of a problem.

I've had a really hard time figuring out how to get cloud native pg working 'cause I couldn't get longhorn working for disk space.

So instead I went with a separate Raspberry Pi that isn't part of the cluster to host a single Postgres instance.

It's inelegant, but has worked for years. Still, I'd rather host a separate pg instance for each project... I just have to figure the above out first.
