If you're encountering Postgres password authentication failures when starting your cluster, it might be due to a stale Docker volume. The error might look like:

museum-1    | panic: pq: password authentication failed for user "pguser"
museum-1    |
museum-1    | goroutine 1 [running]:
museum-1    | main.setupDatabase()
museum-1    |   /etc/ente/cmd/museum/main.go:846 +0x338
museum-1    | main.main()
museum-1    |   /etc/ente/cmd/museum/main.go:124 +0x44c
museum-1 exited with code 2

museum-1    | panic: pq: password authentication failed for user "pguser"
museum-1    |
museum-1    | goroutine 1 [running]:
museum-1    | main.setupDatabase()
museum-1    |   /etc/ente/cmd/museum/main.go:846 +0x338
museum-1    | main.main()
museum-1    |   /etc/ente/cmd/museum/main.go:124 +0x44c
museum-1 exited with code 2

This indicates that the password you're using doesn't match what PostgreSQL expects. If you're using Docker Compose, ensure the credentials in .env and museum.yaml (in the server/config directory) are the same.

I had a similiar issue in a recent build. You might have a look at the compose.yaml changes I did in https://discord.com/channels/948937918347608085/1402737215649349732 The volume one might be of your interest.
