Issue with Immich Upgrade - Incompatable database?

I followed the releases guide in upgrading but i'm stuck with seemingly an incompatable database? Error:

The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 14, which is not compatible with this version 16.8 (Debian 16.8-1.pgdg120+1).

The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 14, which is not compatible with this version 16.8 (Debian 16.8-1.pgdg120+1).

Did you remove the “command” part from the compose like the patch notes showed?

shinynecridOP•2w ago
