Connecting to an existing database is possible by updating the .env file and running Docker Compose with docker-compose-standalone.yaml, which is a configuration that does not include its own PostGIS database.

There are some additional checks to see if PostGIS is installed in the new database, and an option to run CREATE EXTENSION postgis; if this is not the case.
