# Description of Changes
Please provide a summary of the changes, including:
What was changed:
- Refactored path constructions in multiple classes (e.g.,
SPDFApplication.java, InstallationPathConfig.java,
RuntimePathConfig.java) to use Java NIO’s Paths.get() and Path.of()
instead of manual string concatenation.
Why the change was made:
- To improve code readability, maintainability, and robustness by
leveraging modern Java NIO utilities.
- To ensure better portability across different operating systems by
avoiding hardcoded file separators.
Challenges encountered:
- Maintaining backward compatibility while transitioning from manual
string concatenation to using Paths for file path construction.
- Ensuring that the refactored path resolution works consistently across
all supported environments (Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker).
@Frooodle can you check the docker path `/.dockerenv`?

# Description of Changes
This pull request includes several changes primarily focused on
improving configuration management, removing deprecated methods, and
updating paths for external dependencies. The most important changes are
summarized below:
### Configuration Management Improvements:
* Added a new `RuntimePathConfig` class to manage dynamic paths for
operations and pipeline configurations
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/RuntimePathConfig.java`).
* Removed the `bookAndHtmlFormatsInstalled` bean and its associated
logic from `AppConfig` and `EndpointConfiguration`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/AppConfig.java`,
`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/EndpointConfiguration.java`).

### External Dependency Path Updates:
* Updated paths for `weasyprint` and `unoconvert` in
`ExternalAppDepConfig` to use values from `RuntimePathConfig`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/ExternalAppDepConfig.java`).

### Minor Adjustments:
* Corrected a typo from "Unoconv" to "Unoconvert" in
`EndpointConfiguration`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/EndpointConfiguration.java`).

# Description
External DB support for Stirling PDF. You can now choose between the
default H2 or PostgreSQL by setting the new `enableCustomDatabase`
property to `true` or `false`.
To enable your own custom (PostgreSQL) database:
- Set `enableCustomDatabase` to `true`
- Add your database url to `customDatabaseUrl`
- Set your `username` and `password`
Closes#2270
