Good day. This is a general db question.

 

I start exploring containerisation and start learning docker.  Would having postgresql in docker improve security in the sense that users could only access to the db through the port mapped to the environment outside of docker, and if they somehow are able to hack and access outside the db, the access is limited within the container not the OS that host the container.

 

Thanks.
