is there a way to ship a Postgres DB server inside a node server locally? I am building an electron app with Next js inside it. At the moment, the electron app serves the next app inside it, but I dont have a local db. And I am trying to see if I can also build a local postgres database server inside it.

I know I can use SQLite, but I would prefer not to.

That is not a good idea in my opinion. – S. C. Jan 01 '23 at 01:30
What's the reason you'd prefer not to use SQLite? – S. C. Jan 01 '23 at 01:40
In practical terms, the answer is "no". Postgres is large, expects to run 24/7, and needs to create a separate username. It is not designed to be a "local" database. – Tim Roberts Jan 01 '23 at 01:45
