2nd DB would be on the NAS but its not being used by the app, so as long as it’s asynchronous writes, you should be okay
But then I have to maintain it too. And it will be using RAM that was supposed to only be for servicing RAID. On a platform where RAM can’t grow
For sure my setup will be growing and changing with time. But ATM this “prod” db lives only on laptop’s SSD

















Might be! It’s just that having a container like that feels easier than looking after bare-metal secondary db
Maybe I’ll just
pg_dumpduring Nextcloud maintenance window and get into BorgBackup putting the dumps on NAS? If I have to revive the db from the dead, I’ll probably just use the dump anyway, so that’s one hoop less
