Prefect Community

Hey Team!
If i were running prefect server locally (not on cloud), how would i swap out the docker image of postgres with a postgres i already have running? Would it be a change in the following for docker-compose.yml:
PREFECT_SERVER_DB_CMD: ${PREFECT_SERVER_DB_CMD:-"echo 'DATABASE MIGRATIONS SKIPPED'"}      PREFECT_SERVER__DATABASE__CONNECTION_URL: ${DB_CONNECTION_URL}

would this be recommended? or you think prefect should have its own dedicated postgres instance?

Hi <@U018XT6TFRU> I added a pr to address this in response to a similar question in the community channel: <https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1601388791186300?thread_ts=1601388791.186300&amp;cid=CL09KU1K7|https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1601388791186300?thread_ts=1601388791.186300&amp;cid=CL09KU1K7>

Hope that helps - please let me know if it doesn't.  And if you think the pr needs any other information, please add to it! :slightly_smiling_face:

Perfect! thanks Jenny :slightly_smiling_face: i'll take a look!
