Description

Summary

The Docker install of Personal Server currently uses SQLite by default, which has scalability issues beyond a single-user, e.g. https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/2300. We should update the dockerfile to deploy Postgres instead.

How important this is to me and why

Importance: High

Additional context/similar features
