I have a project created with Jhipster and I'm about to turn it into production. The generator as such creates a container of the database, in this case Mysql. At the moment of generating the image with Docker and executing it obviously uses an image of the database and creates a container that I am not really using, since the connection to the database is in an external server.
The question is whether I can avoid using an image of the database and how can I do it in the JHipster project?
My question is because a normal Spring boot project can be run without using a database image, and I want to know if a project with Jhipster would also be possible because it would save me a lot of space.
Sorry if I am confused on some of the mentioned topics, I do not have 100% domain of them and any correction or clarification is welcome.
Thank you very much.
