Description

For running tests and for local development, it would be useful if it were possible to run the operator with ephemeral storage, such as emptyDir.

I would swear that this was possible with earlier versions of the operator, but I can't find any way to do so now.

Start by locating the operator's cluster-storage configuration and Kubernetes handling; the issue names no file, test, or entry point. Done means the operator can create PostgreSQL clusters using ephemeral storage such as emptyDir for tests and local development.
