So i've got a small but important app that I run on PG14 via a container. I literally just put the pgdata dir outside the container and I can keep the host OS totally fine and have an isolated db environment. it's a very nice way to not worry about the db.
Some might disagree (believing that the system package manager should be responsible for the PostgreSQL install), but I agree that the approach you’re using is one of the better ones.
That way you can update the database version when you want, while still installing the base system updates quite frequently. Plus, I think it’s really nice to separate the runtime from the persistent data, which such setups make obvious.
