In response to [ADMIN] Risks of running Postgres as a Docker container?  (Gustav Karlsson <gustav.karlsson@bekk.no>)

for the last 2 years I am running several databases in docker containers.

I am using preconfigured images, have done nothing to change  and I am happy with them

Hi,


At my company we are getting more and more small databases and are considering moving to deploying them as Docker containers for easier management. However, every time I am trying to research the topic of databases as containers, I come across people saying "I would not run a production database in Docker" and similar. Though there do also seem to be plenty of people doing that as well!


So, I was just wondering what the experiences in the community are?

- Anybody running production databases in Docker? Have you experienced many issues?

- What are the risks of doing it? (We would of course mount an external volume for the data-directory)
