# n8n PostgreSQL Permission Fix Script - C.utf8 Locale Version (TEMPLATE)
#
# Purpose: Fix PostgreSQL 15+ permission issues for n8n database
# Root Cause: 1) PostgreSQL 15+ removed default CREATE permission from PUBLIC
#             2) Debian 12 minimal system only has C.utf8 locale available
# Solution: Create database with C.utf8 locale and proper ownership
#
# Environment: Debian 12, PostgreSQL 16, n8n LXC Container (CT 113)
#
# USAGE:
#   1. Copy this template: cp fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh.template fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh
#   2. Set environment variable: export N8N_DB_PASSWORD="your_secure_password"
#   3. Run the script: bash fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh
#   4. Delete the script after use: shred -u fix_n8n_db_c_locale.sh
#
# SECURITY NOTE: This template uses environment variables to avoid hardcoding
#                credentials in the repository. The actual script with embedded
#                credentials is excluded from git via .gitignore
