Check new database path while upgrading kobo-docker

[Valter Gomes]

Description

I am trying to upgrade an old version of kobo-docker to 2.022.44b version.
Thank you very much for providing the upgrading-related documentation.
I have passed all steps in Upgrading from an old version of kobo-docker(before November 17, 2022)
After my experience, I think the following positions should be fixed.

• Step 16
  When I run the following command to start the server, it doesn't work.

  root@postgres:/# su - postgres -c '/usr/lib/postgresql/14/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data/ start'
  

I think the directory path should be fixed to /var/lib/postgresql/data14/ in the above command, because we set the new-datadir to /var/lib/postgresql/data14/.
It's also not same with the new database location mentioned in Step 2 .
In Step 2, we set it as - ./.vols/db14:/var/lib/postgresql/data14

Could you please check the directory path part in step 15, 16, 17 of PostgreSQL of the indications?
Thank you.

Hello @ValterGomesSerafim ,

I think the paths are correct. I followed this documentation for 5-6 upgrades and I copied/pasted the commands exactly the way they are in the doc, and it worked all the time.

I think the directory path should be fixed to /var/lib/postgresql/data14/ in the above command, because we set the new-datadir to /var/lib/postgresql/data14/.

Actually in step 14, you have to exit the one-off container, then in step 15 change the path in the YAML file.
If you follow those steps, new upgraded PostgreSQL 14 data in step 16 should be located in /var/lib/postgresql/data/, not in /var/lib/postgresql/data14/ (even if the folder on the host is still ./.vols/db14).

Thank you for your reply.

yes, you're right.
It was my mistake. It works.
