I want to migrate my docker volume to a local folder
This was an opt in change from v1.102.0, I want to do this change but am a little stuck on how to copy/export the current docker volume. I tried creating a new container and copying pgdata to it but couldn't seem to get it to work.
I am using Unraid and my current volume is
volumes: - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes: - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data

You will need to use the backup and restore process
A good time to make sure you know how to do this in case of any DB issues.
why does it need to be done that way because I know in the v1.102.0 release notes it just says
I want to migrate my docker volume to a local folder
Unfortunately there isn't a "proper" way to export a docker volume.
The recommended method is to mount the volume and the directory (you want to copy your data to) to an arbitrary container, get a shell inside that container and copy the folder manually.
then update the compose and env file
Just recommending as it's an easy way to test your DB recovery plan at the same time. You are free to do it however you wish
If you dont understand exactly what this means, you would be best off with a backup and restore
using backup and restore I was able to do it, thanks.
