This server has 12 processors and 16 Gig and these are not high volume forums, so I’m not worried about the extra resources to have two containers both running postgres.

I just need to figure out how to get two containers running at the same time, if I rebuild one, it stops the other.

I can handle the proxy issue in nginx.
