I mean, correct me if my assumptions are wrong with how the app works with build time versus boot time functions, but it seems as though when deploying this, you need access to the Postgres DB.

You need it to build it and to run it, but should only need it when running it.

In this configuration, I believe I've eliminated the BuildKit dependency. Due to needing to do this once, I think even if we added the git repository files into the container itself, which should be a trivial change, it would need to be built on the first boot regardless.
