I swapped our local SQLite setup for a Postgres Docker container so our local dev environment actually matches our live server.

In docker-compose.yml: Added the postgres:15 container.

In Cargo.toml & main.rs: Switched SeaORM to the Postgres driver and removed the old SQLite table building code.

Take a look at it and see if its ok. After that in main we will need to migrate the actual data on the live server. I looked into it and a tool called pgloader looks good for this. It will aitomaticially translate and push our old SQLite .db file straight into the new Postgres database. However, if anyone knows a better tool, feel free to use that instead.

I actually don't have my SSH access set up for the live server right now. Could someone else handle running the pgloader migration once this is merged?
