Implements automatic version validation for external databases in modular mode to ensure compatibility.
Changes:
- Added check_external_postgres_version() in 02-postgres.sh
- Integrated version check in entrypoint.sh after database connection
- Enforces minimum PostgreSQL version matching DispatcharrBase
- Allows newer versions with forward compatibility notice
- Rejects older versions with clear upgrade instructions
The version requirement automatically scales when DispatcharrBase is updated, requiring no manual maintenance. Only applies to modular deployments using external databases; AIO deployments are unaffected.
Tested and verified correct behavior with PostgreSQL v17, v18, and v16
Extend ensure_utf8_encoding() to support both internal and external PostgreSQL.
- Modular mode: Uses TCP connection with PGPASSWORD authentication
- AIO mode: Uses Unix socket as postgres user
- Explicitly set database owner during recreation (fixes missing --owner flag)
- Conversion logic (dump/drop/recreate/restore) works for both AIO and modular modes
- Skip internal PostgreSQL setup entirely when DISPATCHARR_ENV=modular
