Site upgrade insisting on database upgrade after manual db upgrade

Support

Hello,

I tried to perform a manual postgres upgrade according to the topic here. Everything went smoothly except the final rebuild step, where the launcher continues to inform me that I need to upgrade my database to postgres 15 (which I don’t have the disk space for). How can I debug this?

I am confident in my bash skills, so no need to hold back on running complicated commands.

You can change to the pg13 template and delay the upgrade.

What I would recommend is moving to a new vm, as your old one is probably out of date anyway.

Then you just restore the database to the new server. You can see Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync and copy over the certificates. But don’t copy the database;it’s easier to restore it to the new server and skip the upgrade step.
