do you have a recent backup?

it looks like you’ve not upgraded for quite some time? (judging by references to Postgres … 13 -[the upgrade to Postgres 15](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-15-update/349515) was pushed over 1.5 years ago)

I would _strongly_ recommend [you migrate to a new server](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-your-discourse-instance-to-a-different-server/15721/1) using your latest backup.

That would avoid a lot of upgrade shenanigins and should be pretty painless.
