ATTENTION - do NOT upgrade to AWX operator to 2.13.0

We’ve discovered a bug that would cause you to lose your data. If you already upgraded to 2.13.0 and didn’t make a backup - do NOT stop / restart your postgres 15 container. The database data is living only in that container, and not in the mounted in volume. We’ll update this post with instructions for copying that data out to preserve it.
