Subject: [PATCH] remove regex hostname parsing (#67)

Drop regex validation for postgres hostname, because it was breaking when running in a docker-compose stack where hostnames can be just one word.

If necessary this can be added in again later, but it probably won't be necessary because it doesn't actually add anything useful!
