How was this server installed? Have you made any changes to the Postgres configuration? If you’re still on Postgres 10 try adding this after the hooks: section in your app.yml: after_postgres: - exec: su postgres -c 'psql discourse -c "create extension if not exists unaccent;"'

[afbeelding] Daniel Hooper: need to upgrade postgres from 10 We moved away from PostgreSQL 10 back in 2020 . I urge you to update as soon as possible.

Is there any guidance on how to do that? Is there more to it than reverting that app.yml line?

The link on my post is the guide on that, however we also moved to PostgreSQL 13 update so follow the new one.

This fixed it for me, and then I was able to upgrade postgres based on @Falco ’s instructions.
