Upgrades via the web UI are disabled until you run the latest image. To do so log in to your server using SSH and run: cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher rebuild app I get the above screen when looking to do an update from the dashboard. My installation seems to be in var/www/di…

Can you share the exact commands you’re running, and the output you’re seeing (feel free to redact IP addresses/hostnames if you prefer)? /var/www/discourse sounds like you’re inside the docker container, rather that on your server.

You’re somehow connecting inside the container. You should probably connect to port 22 and maybe you’re connecting to port 2222; older installations had an ssh port exposed for the container.

I’m using Vultr and I just log into my account and open the console window. My command line shows root@vultr-app. is their a way to log out of the app?

Aha! So apparently it leaves the console running and you forgot that you’d entered the container (with ./launcher enter app).

Yes that’s exactly what happened C Robert Christensen (Bob)
