FreeIPA container is supposed to run upgrade on the data volume when

do upgrade images. This is one of scenarios tested by the upstream CI.
This is documented in the upstream documentation:
https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-container/blob/master/README#L183-L189
----------------------
If you have existing container with data volume, it should be safe to
shut it down and run new one based on newer image, with the same data
directory bind-mounted to /data. The container logic will detect that it
is running with data produced by different image and attempt to upgrade
the configuration and data. Of course, keeping backup of the data
directory for cases when the upgrade process fails is recommended.
----------------------
What probably would be good to do is to simulate incremental version
upgrades here -- if you are going up from Fedora 36, step up to Fedora
36:latest first, then Fedora 37:latest, then Fedora 38:latest.
I indeed already tried an upgrade of a minor version on the same base
distro and it worked fine, so probably I can give it a go at jumping
the base distro version as well, following the path you suggested.
As you said keeping a backup of the ipa-data directory should prevent
any major headache in case things go wrong.
Thanks for the reply,
