Important: Before starting the upgrade, we recommend taking a full backup or snapshot of your virtual machine (VM). This provides an additional recovery option in case any unexpected issues occur during the upgrade.

  2. Execute the commands provided below. Root privileges are required. 

  3. The utility provides an interactive menu that allows you to choose whether to upgrade PostgreSQL from version 13 to 17 or roll back to PostgreSQL 13.
