I’m not sure I understand the question. By “data” do you mean “configuration”? If you’ve got multiple devs working on a project (or even if you don’t), IMO your Docker Compose or Podman configuration should be in source control. That will allow multiple devs to all collaborate on the config, do code reviews, etc. Then, you can use whatever your deployment method is to effect those changes on your server(s)… manually run Ansible, automatically run CI-triggered deployment, whatever.
