Upgrading between major versions?

There doesn't seem to be a good way to upgrade between major versions of postgres. When sharing the volume with a new container with a newer version of postgres it won't run as the data directory hasn't been upgraded. `pg_upgrade` on the other hand requires (?) old installation binary files, so upgrading the data files from new server container is also difficult. It would be nice if there was some suggested way of doing this in the readme. Maybe even some meta container which does the upgrading from version to version?
