Consider providing individual docker images per database

[acelaya]

Shlink dashboard will support a number of database engines. Check if it makes sense to install packages for all of them in the same image, or it will help reducing the image size if different ones were provided.

Using separate Docker containers for the database and the application (configured via environment variables) is generally best practice. Does it make senses?

Almost all services Ive seen use the same docker image and let the user select the DB via an env var. Ive never seen a program use seperate docker images for each DB connector. I think the complexity gain here would be excessive compared to the size gain.

Yeah, I tend to think the same. I wanted to try just to see if it does in fact reduce the size, but I agree it's probably going to be overkill.
