Discourse on Ubuntu 16.04.6 running ok since one year. Discourse is the only docker container active. When trying to upgrade, I get an error related to postgres:
```plaintext

It is likely the docker service is out of date and needs to be updated.

apt tells me it is already latest version (and all other ubuntu stuff is current)
```plaintext
docker-ce ist schon die neueste Version (5:18.09.6~3-0~ubuntu-xenial).

Ok good then it looks like Postgres is your problem. Have you tried rebooting and the rebuilding from command line again?

Rebuilding alone did not work. Fine after
- explicitly stop container
- remove image (required!)
- rebuild
Thanks
