 Success. You can now start the database server using:

    pg_ctlcluster 10 main start

Postponing the update

If you need to postpone the update during your next rebuild, you can swap the PostgreSQL template on your app.yml file by changing "templates/postgres.template.yml" to "templates/postgres.10.template.yml" .

This is not recommended, as some site admins will forget to revert the change afterwards.

I applied this and the Discourse forum is now online. What can we do next? Currently, I am using “templates/postgres.10.template.yml”

Any ideas? I am still using “templates/postgres.10.template.yml".

Try the following:

  1. Edit the app.yml and change "templates/postgres.10.template.yml" to "templates/postgres.template.yml" .

  2. Issue a stop: ./launcher stop app

  3. Try a rebuild ./launcher rebuild app

Upgrade Complete
----------------
Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade so,
once you start the new server, consider running:
    ./analyze_new_cluster.sh

Running this script will delete the old cluster's data files:
    ./delete_old_cluster.sh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE OF POSTGRES COMPLETE

Old 10 database is stored at /shared/postgres_data_old

To complete the upgrade, rebuild again using:

./launcher rebuild app

And Discourse forum offline at this time.

I am trying ./launcher rebuild app again as said above.

Yes that is expected.

Yeah, follow the instructions and it should be back soon.

Interesting and awesome, now the update has been successfully completed. I have tried the same way many times before, but it never happened.

Do I need to use the following commands to clear the space?

Thank you!
