What version of Postgres should I be using on 1.6+

There was a major docker upgrade about 1-2 months ago, and I think it upgraded to postgres 9.5?

I just did a ./launcher rebuild app today and saw that postgres 9.3 is in use…

(the logs continue normally, and the site is up & running now.

But I wonder… did I skip a step in the recent upgrade, and if so, what changes do I need to make (ostensibly in my app.yml)?

Thanks!

In general, you should be running PostgreSQL 9.5.

The commands that pups ran are only present in the postgres.9.3.template.yml file; presumably, somewhere in your container definition you’ve got something that looks like:

templates:
  - "templates/postgres.9.3.template.yml"

If you remove the .9.3 from there, you’ll have a much more up-to-date time.

Ah, perfect, thanks!

It was this upgrade:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docker-image-version-1-3-3-released/44778

that brought this on, I think, and it’s because this discourse of mine was set up so long ago.

I’ll post a new topic about cleaning up the mess that change made :wink:
