alt Hacker NewsWhat is the problem to bundle postgress db engine in the docker server? If you want to install it from package, they can have postgress dB as an option with the warning somewhere that it is 'recomended'. I am sure that if you are able to slefhost stuff you are able to install postgress too.

A database is never hard to install, but it can be tricky to operate.
You have to at least have at least a slight idea about the specifics, from different types of vacuum to how it behaves in low memory conditions. The idea that docker has something to do this is a misdirection at best.
And if you think sqlite has many knobs and special modes, wait until you hear about Postgres.

Jellyfin is one of the very few selfhosted apps that can be run as a simple GUI app on Windows. As an advocate for making selfhosting accessible to less technical people, I'm glad they're using sqlite and also that they don't require docker.
