Known Issues

1. PostgreSQL Credentials

Issue: Database password authentication still failing Impact: Cannot test backup/restore end-to-end Status: Known blocker from Week 1 Workaround: Server runs in memory-only mode

Note: Backup scripts are ready and will work once credentials are fixed.

2. Systemd Installation

Requirement: Sudo access needed for systemd service installation Status: Scripts ready, awaiting installation Workaround: Server runs via nohup currently
