I spent a little time trying to learn docker fundamentals and it was so obtuse and broad that it really scared me off.
I like containers in theory, but I'm not huge on the overhead of VMs, and I'm leery of getting such a complex tool involved with my deployments.
- fb03 3y agoI see. Thank you for the reply. For something as simple as having your own little DB side by side to your project, it is really not that complicated. A 5 line docker-compose.yml gets you a fully encapsulated PG instance on a custom port. One per project. I hope you give it a try someday if you get the chance - also, it's a process in a "jails"-like environment, not a VM, not another full blown kernel running - so really the performance overhead is minimal to none - just like if you were running PG "locally" (well, you actually are)
