Database hosting? (lemmy.world)

Say I have a large txt or CSV file with data I want to search. And say I have several files.

What is the best way to index and make this data searchable? I've been using grep, but it is not ideal.

Is there any self hostable docker container for indexing and searching this? Or maybe should I use SQL?

Importing that data into a RDBMS would be ideal. I'd use PostgreSQL for this but any other would work.

Postgres runs well in a container in my experience and is nice to work with, def support that. I know sqlite works well, no complaints from me
