Answer 1

Try to remove the version of postgres in your pom.xml and instead give <scope>runtime</scope>
Try to give this in application.yaml:
# Database
datasource:
driver-class-name: org.postgresql.Driver
url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
username: postgres
password: postgres
# JPA properties
jpa:
hibernate:
ddl-auto: none
show-sql: true
database: postgresql
database-platform: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
open-in-view: false
generate-ddl: false
