Hi

When upgrading some GL hosts I found that Postgres 9.5 still running on these older versions but will not upgrade.

db_1   | PostgreSQL Database directory appears to contain a database; Skipping initialization
db_1   |
db_1   | 2021-03-06 16:10:04.431 UTC [1] FATAL:  database files are incompatible with server
db_1   | 2021-03-06 16:10:04.431 UTC [1] DETAIL:  The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 9.5, which is not compatible with this version 13.2.
greenlight_db_1 exited with code 1

Can the existing v9.5 be upgraded?

Upgraded to postgres 9.6-alpine but same issue when trying to run 13.2-alpine from updated docker-compose.yml 

Followed steps to upgrade 9.5 to 9.6-alpine here: Issue 2543 which is functioning from migrated DB.
Documents should be updated to give proper process of upgrading from 9.5 to the latest postgres 13.2-alpine for GL.

Any help would be appreciated.

You'll need to wait until we actually finish the release for documentation to be written :)

Ok thanks, just working off your current workflow and tried upgrading based on the current docker-compose.yml.
I will do :)
