Upgrading docker artifactory pro 6.X to 7.X - docker

Question

compose artifactory pro v6.9.0 running
In my compose I have two services :
image: docker.bintray.io/jfrog/artifactory-pro:6.9.0
image: docker.io/library/postgres:9.6.11
I was able to upgrade to 6.23.13 without any problem just by changing the version of the image.
When I try the same thing with any 7.X version (after upgrading to at least 6.10 as the doc says), I have errors.
For example, trying 7.21.3, I have these warnings
2022-08-01T08:41:30.343L [tomct] [WARNING] [ ] [org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig] [org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor] - A docBase [/opt/jfrog/artifactory/app/artifactory/tomcat/webapps/access.war] inside the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored

and these errors

After reading the docs I do not clearly understand if I have to download the new docker-compose package from jfrog. I've tried but once there, the config.sh ask for external database and no question about reusing existing image directory.
Thx for help

Not sure if this is still relevant for you, but I got the same problem. As far as I see there are new DB connection environment variables, that must be set. This error message is just a symptom, because without the new DB connection env, Artifactory will try to use an in-memory database (Apache Derby). Something like this is needed to fix it (as Docker Compose config of the Artifactory container):
environment:
- JF_SHARED_DATABASE_TYPE=postgresql
- JF_SHARED_DATABASE_USERNAME=${POSTGRESQL_USERNAME}
- JF_SHARED_DATABASE_PASSWORD=${POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}
- JF_SHARED_DATABASE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://postgresql:5432/artifactory
- JF_SHARED_DATABASE_DRIVER=org.postgresql.Driver
