There are also situations where you can do it safely if there’s already the ability for remote communication built in. I have some MariaDB containers on a different machine to what’s using and serving the data. I could’ve had them in the same Compose file on the one machine, communicating over an internal Docker network. Instead I just changed it to point at an external port instead.
Agreed! If the application can handle these files (or other resources) disappearing for a while during network issues, then sure, they can be separate. However, if an application depends on a file for its core functionality, I do not think it is a good idea.
