[Request]: Add PostgreSQL 17 Support to Hydra (Cloud Native Postgres Operator)

[Shah-Aayush]

What's wrong?

Description:
PostgreSQL 17 introduces several key features like enhanced incremental backups and recovery, which are highly relevant for modern workflows. We request support for PostgreSQL 17 in Hydra to leverage these capabilities within Kubernetes/Openshift environments.

Request:

1. Update Hydra to support PostgreSQL 17.
2. If possible, provide the original Hydra PostgreSQL image file so we can replicate steps in the Dockerfile and test PostgreSQL 17 integration ourselves.
3. Suggest steps or guidance for creating a custom image with PostgreSQL 17.
4. Share an approximate timeline for the official release of PostgreSQL 17 support in Hydra.

Thank you for your attention! Let us know how we can help or contribute to testing pre-release builds.

I’m unsure if this is the right place to request this feature, as I couldn’t create a discussion thread. Please let me know if there’s a specific procedure I should follow for this type of request.
Thank you!

I think pgxman is still not supporting postgres 17, so is there anyway to build the dockerfile without using pgxman ?
