Hello together,
i want to install Neos on my homeserver to develop a project locally. I’m wondering about what is the best practice process to do so. I was once developing Neos with version 3.0 but now lots of changes happend and i need to investigate again 
So basicially i’m trying to use the docker method with docker-compose.
I was using the following howto:
docker run -v .:/app -it --rm composer create-project neos/neos-base-distribution neos-example
to create an empty neos distribution and it created the given folder neos-example.
Afterwards i created the docker-compose.yaml and the Dockerfile.dev (you should add to the documentation, that this files have to be created inside the neos-example folder - otherwise one would assume that it is the folder before)
docker-compose.yaml:
# NEOS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
#
# For instructions how to use docker-compose, see
# https://docs.neos.io/cms/installation-development-setup/docker-and-docker-compose-setup#docker-compose-cheat-sheet

Diffs: I want to use postgreSQL, not mariadb. And i do have some ENV variable inside my .env file.
Dockerfile.dev:

# copy everything in the project into the container. This is what
# makes this image so fast!

CMD [ "./flow", "server:run", "--host", "0.0.0.0" ]
Diffs: I want to install the extention pdo_pgsql, instead of pdo_mysql because i’m using postgreSQL. Also i had to add libpq-dev to make the build happen.
After i tried to setup the DB-Connection, the following happend:
root@ff796f0020b7:/app# ./flow setup:database
DB Driver (pdo_mysql):

Do you know what is missing? Maybe another driver within the dockerfile?
Thank you!
