To a degree yes. I dumped 9.1 and loaded it into 9.5 and everything
seems ok except PGAdmin4 is displaying a spurious empty undroppable
database called Template0. Don't know how to get rid of that. It is
invisible to PGAdmin3 running on an older machine.

I'm not using backup but rather regularly dumping the 9.1 databases from
an external location and storing them off-site. I believe this is secure
because the external location is in the server's ACL and access cannot
be gained from anywhere else. Similarly the listen_addresses.
I realise this doesn't cover database on-disk changes.

Not sure what you mean? Not sure how to stop one server without stopping
another. Typically I use sudo service postgres stop/start/restart and
that seems to work on all together.

As you can see I don't know how to change the postgres user password.
Did it a few times just to be sure.

I can see I will have to use backup/restore to move beyond 9.5 or 9.6
and that all makes sense. But surely it is easier to look in the
postgresql.conf file to see which port is being used by which installed
version?
For example in my local network I have 9.1, 9.3 and 9.5 running. I think
this is because the original Ubuntu LTS server was 12.04 and apt-get
installed 9.1. Since then I have upgraded it to Ubuntu 16.04 and that
installed 9.5. I think. Anyway, the ports in use here are 5432, 5433,
5434 and they are being used by 9.1, 9.3 and 9.5 respectively.
What I would like to do is uninstall 9.1 and 9.3. How would I do that?
Many thanks for staying in touch
Cheers
Mike
