How to upgrade from PostgreSQL 9.3 to PostgreSQL 18

Minor releases (e.g. 18.x to 18.6) never need a dump or pg_upgrade: install the packages and restart. A new major version does.

Ubuntu / Debian (PGDG repository)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade postgresql-18
sudo systemctl restart postgresql

New major version on Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt install postgresql-18
pg_lsclusters

Then run sudo pg_upgradecluster <old-version> main. It migrates the old cluster onto version 18.

Docker

docker pull postgres:18
