fix: some issues with "small" docker improvements (#12564)

* fix: support previous FORCE_BUILD_BEFORE_START variable too

* fix: attempt to fix permission issues and inform properly on failure

* fix: profile-gate redis and re-add profile-gated postgres to main file

For now it's better to maintain compatibility - current postgres users will run mongodb unnecessarily withuot changes, but at least it'll still work fine
