I did look at that, thanks. I think that's super useful. One question
about that is how tied to Postgres 9.6 is it? 9.6 is 4 years old now,
though still supported. While Postgres recommends using the latest
possible release, maybe there are design or functional reasons to still
use 9.6? FWIW the final release of 9.6 is scheduled for Nov. 2021.[0]

Yes, I think that is the low hanging fruit - to create a containerized
Postgres based on the docker-compose file above that is separate from
the FOSSology container. Then, pull out the Postgres part from the
existing container. After that, removing the web server from the
current FOSSology container and either requiring a reverse proxy, or a
generic web server, or something different.

Of course, copious documentation will help and I'll try to do that for
any of my changes.

Good to know. So the external dependencies are a web server that runs
php via mod-php and a SQL server that can speak psql (meaning
Postgres)?

I note that there are a couple supported versions of PHP's runtime in
the docs - is that the plan going forward to support them both? Is new
development happening more in a particular version?
