Option 1: Export layers to GeoPackage
===================================
If you do not have an existing PostGIS database, you can create one from your QGIS Project.
You have two options for doing so.
1. Export your layer(s)
------------------------
Right click on layer > Export > Save As > GeoPackage

-------------------------
Go to Data Sources > Create and upload your GeoPackage(s).

4. Change QGIS Data Source
-------------------------------
Optionally, you can now also set your QGIS Project to use your new database as well.
Just right click on the layer(s) > Change Data Source
Select the PostGIS data source you created above.
