Always take a backup of the Postgres database before upgrading Libredesk.
Dump the database to a file with pg_dump. This works for both Docker and non-Docker setups, since Docker exposes Postgres on localhost:5432. Replace the user and database name (libredesk) if you changed them in your config.
pg_dump -h localhost -U libredesk libredesk > libredesk_backup.sql
