Best way to set up a PostgreSQL dev database in Azure DevOps pipeline without Docker(-in-Docker)

[poppash]

Hi all,

I’m working on an Azure DevOps pipeline where the agent is running inside an Azure Container Instance. As far as I know, Docker-in-Docker isn't an option given this setup.

My goal is to:

• Set up a PostgreSQL development database during the pipeline execution,
• use atlas to manage migrations,
• tear down the database afterward.

Since Docker isn’t available, I’m looking for the best solution to achieve this setup. Any suggestions or best practices?

Thanks in advance!
