Why does Docker makes you feel safer here? Is it because you feel more confident there is no database process still running?

- ravi-delia 4y agoIf you're an ignorant fool such as myself, your knowledge of a database's internals is sufficient only to inspire fear. With Docker I know that whatever black magic the database uses is contained within a black box I can copy wholesale. Anything important must be in there, since I didn't give it anything else!
- ReactiveJelly 4y agoIt's more about, I don't like having a global directory namespace that everything gets dumped into. I know that PG data is usually in /var/lib/postgresql/data, but I like Docker because if I ever need a 2nd or 3rd database on one system, I can give them more meaningful names and not feel like I'm touching Important System-Wide Stuff.
