Once support for 14.04 LTS will be terminated in 2019, there will not

PostgreSQL.
by 2019, I would expect the server deployed today to be pretty obsolete.
its pretty easy now to use streaming replication to create a live copy
of your database then promote and cut over to it with almost no downtime.
or, simply do an in place upgrade of your operating system, as long as
you use the same major version of postgres, you can run with the same
data directory. you can upgrade postgres to a new major version via
pg_upgrade...
