Somebody on the internet says that the traffic between docker containers should be encrypted. We're not doing that (specifically with databases). This is not a huge security vulnerability for now but I think we should take care of that before beta.

Here's a resource about how to generate ssl certs on postgres
https://dev.to/danvixent/how-to-setup-postgresql-with-ssl-inside-a-docker-container-5f3

I don't know how we want to go with implementing that (maybe a repo with a code snippet to put in compose.yml?) so I'm hoping somebody who knows more about docker wants to pick this up :)
