This is just one of the ways to achieve it.

  1. Take a Database dump from the current database.

    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/backup-dump.html

  2. Install postgres 9.6 from Docker store

    $ sudo docker run postgres:9.6.5

  3. Restore the dump to the new 9.6.5 container.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

looks you need to install postgresql-client-9.5. you could attach to the container, apt-get update, then install postgresql-client
