Are you able to reach the repository below from your server?

```plaintext
curl -v https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/

```

The repository is needed to [install](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/efd6bc8ccbd9057c04d909ff48ecf8b704cae3ff/templates/postgres.template.yml#L117-L118) the old PostgreSQL packages used during the update.

This is typically caused when the database was not shut down properly. We had fixed it earlier when you started and stopped the `data` container. The error is not seen in your [latest log output](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-update-fails-from-china/350869/11).
