Using an existing Postgres 16 instance instead of ossapps/postgres image?

[GiamBoscaro]

I have a Postgres 16 container running that hosts already a few DBs from my services. I would like to have also the SplitPro database in there, but I have seen that in the docker installation here in the repo it is being used a custom image ossapps/postgres.

• If I host the database in my own Postgres instance, will I break something?
• What exactly is added into the ossapps/postgres image? Only the the pg_cron plugin is being installed. I suppose I could install that also in my own Postgres instance.

I suppose you can do that. Our image is only for adding pg_cron indeed, which won't be needed until 1.6 is released.

I will try to add pg_cron to my Postgres instance so I am ready for 1.6.
