Hi guys, I have a question regarding possible AWX configuration scenarios, I installed an RPM version of ansible , and then the k3s clustered version using minikube.  
After dumping the DB on the RPM version I would like to be able to restore the db however on the clustered version.  
Is it possible to access the shell of the postgres node and perform a pg\_restore ? Or how could I take advantage of CR\_backup however using this DB dump file and not the pvc already present in the cluster ?  
Thanks.
