I use this for my Lemmy instance & lemmy-ansible and it's been great! No longer having to support upgrade scripts and write a complete upgrade process[1] for people to follow has made my life a lot easier! Amazing product

I heard about that project but it still somewhat convoluted. Imagine being able to simply use "postgres:latest" or better yet "postgres:15" and switch to "postgres:16" and it would just update (like any other minor version does, or any other db, like mysql, does)

Yeah, we've offered to make that happen but there's been zero response:

Btw, what do you find convoluted about our project (pgautoupgrade)?

It started out as super simple like you mention above... but it also started out using Alpine images so didn't work so well for people coming from Debian based ones. We've added support for Debian based ones now too, but that's introduced more complexity to the README (as has other options). o_O
