How to perform a PostgreSQL major upgrade on a FreeBSD jail I personally run my PostgreSQL server inside of a jail on my FreeBSD box which makes the upgrade and/or migration process a lot easier. This will guide you through the process of upgrading PostgreSQL and anything specific gotchas that we come across. We can not install two different versions of PostgreSQL on FreeBSD but need access to the old binary during the upgrade....

I just went through quite a few FreeBSD 14 upgrades over the past month and just thought I'd note down the process. I also run quite a few jails on my FreeBSD hosts and also noted down what has been working for me. Seems like this information is very rarely documented across the internet so hopefully this helps someone out there!
