Databasus version

3.17.0

Operating system and architecture

Docker

Describe the bug (please write manually, do not ask AI to summarize)

What happened: I have a PGSQL 18 Database on a Server. Connection is successful, but I get the following error message:

PostgreSQL connection or authentication error. stderr: pg_dump: error: aborting because of server version mismatch pg_dump: detail: server version: 18.2 (Debian 18.2-1.pgdg13+1); pg_dump version: 17.9 (Debian 17.9-1.pgdg13+1)

It says PF version 18 in the config.

What I expected: A successful backup

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect Databasus to a PGSQL 18 Database Server
  2. Start Backup Job

Have you asked AI how to solve the issue?

  • Claude Sonnet 4.6 or newer
  • ChatGPT 5.2 or newer
  • No

It's telling me to update the "agent" from 17 to 18 manually or to backup the database without databasus as a temporary workaround.

Additional context / logs
