When upgrading Pangolin to version 1.6 using a PostgreSQL database, the container attempts to run migrations against a SQLite database. Since the SQLite database does not exist, the migration fails and the container does not start.

The startup process should check the database type before attempting any migrations, or respect the existing database configuration.

I can provide more details (logs, configuration, etc.) by tomorrow if needed.
