So it didn't go completely smoothly (python3.9 -> python3.10 upgrade
broke libravatar virtualenv, postgresql required postgresql-setup
--upgrade, pg_hba.conf recreation needed afterwards, temporal django
downgrade needed to version 3) but we made it work eventually.

Next time, preparation of the image in advance probably combined with
switching to more LTS-based distro might be a good way to go.

Best regards
