postgres service not working

Hi,

Running Ente self-hosted with Postgres 15.12 in Docker. After a crash, Postgres won’t start.

Log shows:
PANIC: replication checkpoint has wrong magic ...
PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record

Data files still exist under base/16384/*
Photos are safe in MinIO
Tried pg_resetwal, pg_checksums, pg_filedump → still cannot start
Goal: recover table data (users, albums) even if the cluster can’t be restarted

Any advice on safest way to extract rows from the raw files or rebuild a minimal working DB?

Thanks!
