PostgreSQL Upgrade

These instructions are based on docker-postgres-upgradeopen in new window.

For PostgreSQL upgrade with pg_dump see Migrate docker postgres databases with pg_dump.

Scenario

We have Docker environment containing a postgres 10 database and want to upgrade it to version 12. We use another docker image to update the postgres volume.

The environment has an Odoo database:

Odoo-Development/docker-compose.yml

...
  db:
    container_name: db
    image: postgres:10
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:5432:5432"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: odoo
      POSTGRES_USER: odoo
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: odoo
      PGDATA: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
    volumes:
      - odoo-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
volumes:
  odoo-db-data:
...

Instructions

Start the environment.

task start

Set env vars and create directory.

OLD='10'
NEW='12'
POSTGRES_USER=odoo
mkdir -p "$PWD/$NEW"

Stop the running container.

docker stop db

Upgrade the volume.

sudo rm -rf "$PWD/$NEW"
docker run --rm \
 -v odoo-development_odoo-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/10/data \
 -v "$PWD/$NEW/data":/var/lib/postgresql/12/data \
 -e PGUSER=$POSTGRES_USER\
 -e POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS="-U $POSTGRES_USER"\
 "tianon/postgres-upgrade:$OLD-to-$NEW"

Show current version.

sudo cat /var/lib/docker/volumes/odoo-development_odoo-db-data/_data/PG_VERSION

Move the directory.

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker/volumes/odoo-development_odoo-db-data/_data
sudo mv 12/data /var/lib/docker/volumes/odoo-development_odoo-db-data/_data

Change postgres version.

image: postgres:12

Start the container.

task start-db

Check logs.

docker logs db

Troubleshooting

No entry host

Problem

Solution

docker exec db /bin/bash -c 'echo "host all all all trust" >> /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf'
task start
