Re: Help update PostgreSQL 13.12 to 13.14

Hi

Upgrade works when you have an existing Postgres installation with server
running.
If you run the following command then it will upgrade the
existing installation of postgre.
sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server

But you don't need to execute the below commands as this will create data
directory and start the server on it.
sudo /usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13

You just need to install the version of postgres you need and it will
upgrade the existing installation and you just need to restart the server.
sudo systemctl restart postgresql-13

The following commands you mentioned are going to setup the repos for
postgres which will used to download and install postgres packages.
# Install the RPM from the repository:
sudo dnf install -y
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
But you done need to disable it as this will disable the repo you installed
above.
sudo dnf -qy module disables postgresql
