I'm waivering a bit on my choice to create a single PostgreSQL server for my homelab. This felt like a good idea because I come from the Microsoft world, where every software license costs $$$$$$.

Most applications I want to use combines the database server within the install itself. This ensures no conflicts with other databases and silos performance issues as well. Which sounds like a good idea to me.

The downside - repetitive maintenance task, like backups.
