My Discourse install at Digital Ocean is behaving very oddly. While it is still running fine I can’t do anything via SSH anymore. When I try to enter the container I get the error that the container is not running. And when I try to rebuild I get: FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: socat /dev/null UNIX-CONNECT:/shared/postgres_run/.s.PGSQL.5432 || exit 0 && echo postgres already running stop container ; exit 1 failed with return # Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:112:in `spawn' exec failed with the params "socat /dev/null UNIX-CONNECT:/shared/postgres_run/.s.PGSQL.5432 || exit 0 && echo postgres already running stop container ; exit 1" 4f10d0a44bb29a2710b46c2ec2ea7dc2d7b10b8588a1317f0fcac79e32fd95ca ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one What can I do? Thanks.

Did you add some other container running postgres? Did you rename your app.yml?

Not really. I added another Droplet but that’s on a different IP. And I can still enter the app.yml with nano.

Actually, I might have created a second container when I was importing some mbox files. I seem to have an app.yml and an import.yml

You probably need to cd /var/discourse ./launcher destroy import

[image] fidelio: Any harm in keeping both containers? If there isn’t, why are we having this conversation? What you (probably) want to do is ./launcher stop import ./launcher rebuild app # make sure that the site is working ./launcher destroy import # so that it doesn't start up when you reboot # and to be sure that you're not confused in the future rm containers/import.yml

So it seems like the Import container is the one I am now using. Any harm in keeping both containers?
