official Docker postgres image documentation upgrading existing PostgreSQL data directory major version 16💡 Result:
Upgrading a PostgreSQL data directory between major versions (such as from 16 to a newer version) is not handled automatically by the official Docker PostgreSQL image because major version upgrades require access to both the old and new PostgreSQL binaries simultaneously [1][2][3]. The recommended approach to upgrading is to use the PostgreSQL
pg_upgradeutility or a logical backup/restore process [4][1][5]. Official Upgrade Methods 1. Logical Backup and Restore (Recommended for simplicity): - Usepg_dumpallto export all databases, users, and roles from your existing container into a single SQL file on your host machine [4][6]. - Stop and remove the old container (keeping your data volume backed up) [5][6]. - Launch a new container using the desired, newer PostgreSQL image version [6]. - Import the SQL file into the new container usingpsqlorpg_restore[1][5]. 2. Using pg_upgrade (Recommended for performance/large databases): -pg_upgradeallows for an in-place upgrade [4]. To use it in Docker, you must provide access to both the old and new PostgreSQL binaries [1][3]. - The community often uses specialized helper images (e.g.,tianon/postgres-upgrade) or custom container setups to facilitate this process, as they contain multiple versions of PostgreSQL [1][7]. - If usingpg_upgrade --link, ensure the data directories for both versions reside on the same filesystem/volume [8][3]. Important Note on PostgreSQL 18+ Data Directories Starting with PostgreSQL 18, the official image changed the defaultPGDATAand volume structure to be version-specific (e.g.,/var/lib/postgresql/18/docker) [9][5][10]. While this change was made to simplify future upgrades usingpg_upgrade --linkby allowing multiple version directories to exist side-by-side on the same mount [9][2][6], it is a breaking change for existing deployments that previously mounted volumes directly to/var/lib/postgresql/data[5][6][10]. When upgrading to version 18 or later, you should transition your mounts to the parent directory/var/lib/postgresqlto align with this new structure [9][2][6]. If you cannot change your mount path, you can explicitly set thePGDATAenvironment variable to/var/lib/postgresql/datain your container configuration to retain compatibility with older mount layouts [9][10].Citations:
Add a PostgreSQL major-version migration path before changing the image.
The existing
$$cap_appname-dbvolume contains the PostgreSQL 12 data directory. PostgreSQL 16 cannot use that directory withoutpg_upgradeor dump/restore. Add an explicit migration procedure, or keep PostgreSQL 12 until migration is automated.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
