We are modernizing Multicorn2 the support python 3.9+ and Postgres 12+. Perhaps this project could do the same? Dropping support for old Postgres versions and old python versions will make it sensible to continue moving this valuable project forward to support thru current versions of Postgres and ElasticSearch

Hi Denis,

I understand and agree with your intent. It happens that the code that I have written is compatible with older versions of python, and the dockerfiles were once valid for older versions of postgres. I am keeping them as they serve as documentation for how to get the system running.

I can update the documentation to explicitly recommend using later versions of postgres and python however I am hesitant to deliberately cut off existing users. I've worked at companies that have run extremely old systems and it can be difficult to get the support to upgrade.
