After upgrading 2.18.0 to 2.18.1 with existing database container fails to start because of USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL

When upgrading the docker image from 2.18.0-pg17 to 2.18.1-pg17 with an existing database, timescale fails to start with the following error:

PostgreSQL Database directory appears to contain a database; Skipping initialization

[1] FATAL:  database files are incompatible with server
[1] DETAIL:  The database cluster was initialized with USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL but the server was compiled without USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL.
[1] HINT:  It looks like you need to recompile or initdb.
[1] LOG:  database system is shut down

Downgrading to 2.18.0-pg17 makes the container start again.

Looks like it is the same issue as docker-library/postgres#1195.

Looking at https://hub.docker.com/r/timescale/timescaledb/tags?name=2.18.1-pg17 only linux/arm/v6 is published yet, all the other architectures are still missing.

This will probably fix itself once the remaining architectures are pushed.

Does this work now with the docker images published?

Yes, its working again, thank you.
