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


Yes, and yes. :)
 

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


We have not seen any durability issues due to docker. We have seen some docker bugs where individual containers or the whole docker daemon will get stuck in weird states, but it seems to have gotten better in recent releases. If you have less than a hundred instances you are unlikely to see these.
