PostgreSQL: inplace upgrade in Docker container

As I wrote in a older blog entry, we cannot just change the PostgreSQL image of a Docker container to a higher major version. Restarting the container like that will lead to a not running PostgreSQL container, as older data will not start using newer binaries. But there's

MySQL: Use Docker Compose for MySQL

Using Docker, you can easily set up new MySQL instances. I prefer to use Docker compose for that - here's my configuration file (which should also work for MariaDB-Containers): services: db: image: mysql:8.0 restart: always environment: MYSQL_DATABASE: 'db' MYSQL_USER: 'user'

PostgreSQL: Using Docker Compose for PostgreSQL

Docker is a great software solution for containerization of other software. I'm using it for my private services, like * Teslamate, a logging and visulalization software for Teslas * NGinx Proxy Manager, a great tool for the management of web services, including certification management * Ghost, a blogging service * and many
