Things happen magically with docker. Container needs PostgreSQL? Expose the port, define a volume, username and password, connect service to that port, forget PostgreSQL’s existence until data corruption.

Not data corruption, but I replaced by mistake my .env file for authentik, containing the password for the postgresql database...

Cue a couple existential crisis for not having set up backups, thinking about nuking the whole installation, learning about postgresql, and finally managing to manually set another password.

Yeah, I feel several years older now...
