Hello all! Just curious what y’alls typical setup is when it comes to running multiple stacks which require the same “support” containers.
What I mean is, say you want to run two services that both require a connection to a database, would you run two separate DB containers, one for each service and have them connected only to their respective DB “stacks”? Or do you prefer to run a single centralized DB server/service and have your self hosted stacks all communicate with their own databases inside the server?
I don’t wanna go all 90s forum user here, but I think this is the 5th post asking this. Maybe just have a look first if this has been answered already.
Agree, there are a few topics like this. Other ones being “backup software recommendation” threads, “look at my dashboard” threads, “what should I self-host” threads… I just post a comment linking to previous threads like this https://lemmy.world/comment/1761863. Maybe after a while they will learn… On the other hand Lemmy’s search feature is not very pleasant to work with, so I don’t blame OP. Maybe there should be a pinned post about “frequent” questions.
On topic: single DB engine/service, connect each app to this DB service, and let each one have its own database in it. Anything else degrades performance and makes backups more complex.

On topic: just use a new db with each service.
