The script will be useless to you, besides for referencing what to do.
Export, remove pg15, install pg16, import. I think you can streamline with both installed at once as they correctly version. You could also use the in place upgrade. Aptly named: pg_upgradeclusters
But updating to 0.19.4, you do not need to go to pg16… but… you should, because of the benefits!
Great stuff peeps! Looks like my future is very busy with having to do a complex pictrs upgrade and then a postgres and finally lemmy. Oof! 😅
Thx! Let me know if the postgres upgrade helper script I provided has any issues.
My postgres is on bare metal, so I don’t think the script is setup for that,is it?

What benefits do you mean?
A faster db. Just the regular performance benefits, https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-16-released-2715/
Also, Lemmy is built against v16 (now) so at some point it will eventually no longer JustWork
The script is pretty easy to read and follow along manually if you need to.
