Would be cool if you could also run normal postgres alongside

You can. It is possible to point EdgeDB at an arbitrary Postgres cluster and have it coexist with other databases.

Do you have more info about how to do this?

You can run a normal postgres DB alongside EdgeDB. You can use a regular Postgres cluster and create your pg databases in it and at the same time point EdgeDB to the cluster

    docker run --name edgedb -e EDGEDB_PASSWORD=secret \
    -e EDGEDB_POSTGRES_DSN='...' \ 
    -d edgedb/edgedb
