Running a container in the background

You got some projects set up already on your machine, but an urgent request has come in to fix a bug in your data ingestion pipeline. The pipeline is used to store data from different sources into a Postgres database. To search for the issue, you want to set up the project locally together with a Postgres database in a Docker container to ensure that fixing this bug doesn't affect anything else you are working on.
