Hi,
I'm trying to setup wallabag in kubernetes, and I can't get it to use correct database. Here is my config:

/var/www/wallabag # printenv | grep SYM
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER=pdo_pgsql
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST=psql-wallabag-rw
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME=app
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD=**secret**
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT=5432
SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER=app
SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME=**secret**
SYMFONY__ENV__FOSUSER_CONFIRMATION=false
SYMFONY__ENV__FOSUSER_REGISTRATION=false
SYMFONY__ENV__FOS_OAUTH_SERVER_ACCESS_TOKEN_LIFETIME=3600
SYMFONY__ENV__FOS_OAUTH_SERVER_REFRESH_TOKEN_LIFETIME=1209600
SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL=no-reply@wallabag.org
SYMFONY__ENV__LOCALE=en
SYMFONY__ENV__REDIS_HOST=wallabag-redis
SYMFONY__ENV__REDIS_SCHEME=tcp
SYMFONY__ENV__RSS_LIMIT=50
SYMFONY__ENV__SECRET=**secret**
SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME=Your wallabag instance

As you can see, database engine should be postgres, but below I'm pasting the excerpt from prod.log, which suggests that it's actually for some reason trying to use sqlite.
