I use game server on Pterodactyl on Debian (CLI), I tried it with hosting provider and it was without success.
Before it, I tried the migrate it on Windows 11 Home from sqlite3 to postgresql, too unsuccessful. After it, I tried migrate to LevelDB (not for use, only test of migration) and it was succesful.
The DB backends require (1) that luanti is built with the proper support enabled, and (2) the local support libraries are installed and (3) the actual database backend up and running (in case of pgsql).
Most likely one or more of these things isn't right, and so it fails. You'd have to dig into the debian package to figure out how it's built - I'm not a debian user/developer so I can't help, but, maybe someone else can chime on for that.

Thank you!
1) This is the main problem... I assumed that all distributed versions of Luanti automatically supports PostgreSQL backend if PostgreSQL server is running. Is some repository where can I see compiled versions that supports PostgreSQL? For Linux Debian (Luanti server CLI) and for Windows.
2) I assumed that running PostgreSQL server and Luanti server egg are the all what is needed to run Luanti server with PostgreSQL as map backend...
3) I made it without any problem
I don't know what the actual library is that is needed. I assume it's libpq.so.5, but, that is just a wild guess. Sorry, I neither use debian nor postgresql myself.
