Hi, thank you for your work on this project!

I would like to ask whether it is possible to configure postgresus to use my own existing PostgreSQL instance for managing its data. I noticed in the Dockerfile that it creates its own internal PostgreSQL database, but in my case I already have a separate PostgreSQL server dedicated to administrative applications.

Is there a way to point postgresus to an external PostgreSQL instance instead of running the built-in one? If so, could you provide some guidance on the required configuration?

Thank you!
