<p>Hi! Looks great so far. I was able to get a couple of containers up using your instructions. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="smile" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f604.png">😄</g-emoji></p>

<p>I personally prefer the <em>"Let Docker manage the storage"</em> approach but I have found that people find that confusing since their data vanishes when you run <code>docker-compose down</code>. For me, that's a <em>feature</em> but it seems to be surprising to people and can lead to unexpected data destruction which nobody likes.</p>
<p>Because of that I'm inclined to do with the <em>"Create a data directory on the host system (outside the container)"</em> option. I find it weird to have a <code>PGDATA</code> directory on my host system that is only used in a container, but I suspect I'm in the minority.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p><em>btw, right now it's using the <em>"Let Docker manage the storage"</em> approach</em></p>
