Is there any way to upgrade the version of postgres on a managed cluster? Looking to bump up a major version from 12.5 to 13.4 for a couple DBs. Thanks!
@elliotdickison So you can use fly image update --app <app-name> to update your Postgres app to the latest available minor/patch version, but we currently do not support major version upgrades at this time.
If you are eager to move to the latest major version, I would recommend doing the following:
- Create a new Postgres app that’s running 13.4.
- Ensure you have Postgres 13 installed on your local machine.
- Issue a
pg_dumpagainst your current Postgres running 12.5.
PostgreSQL: Documentation: 13: pg_dump - Issue a
pg_restorethat targets your new Postgres running 13.4 and the dump file.
PostgreSQL: Documentation: 13: pg_restore
Something like this should work:
pg_restore -v -d [FLY_POSTGRES_URI] < [path-to-dump-file] --no-owner
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions!

@elliotdickison I wrote this up yesterday if you’re interested in giving it a try:

I love this, one of the best things about Fly is how flexible it is - what can’t you do with a Fly app? Will let you know if I get a chance to try it out.
