Re: Risks of running Postgres as a Docker container?

    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)
