Hey Guys, I have problem with an update giving me the following msg: If you wish to continue anyway using your existing unsupported storage driver, read the source code of launcher and figure out how to bypass this check. root@sendy:/var/docker/discourse# git pull Already up-to-date. root@****:/var/docker/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app Your Docker installation is not using a supported storage driver. If we were t. overlay2 is the recommended storage driver, although zfs and aufs may work as w. Other storage drivers are known to be problematic. You can tell what filesystem you are using by running "docker info" and looking.

Hi @pauln If your host is only running Docker to support Discourse and your Linux kernel supports the OverlayFS, then I recommend you reconfigure Docker (carefully) to use the overlay2 storage driver. Hope this helps.

Can you let me know how to do it? I am running on Linode (Debian 7.5) Can you tell me how to reconfigure Docker?

[תמונה] pauln: Debian 7.5 Per official Docker docs: To install Docker Engine, you need the 64-bit version of one of these Debian or Raspbian versions: Debian Buster 10 (stable) Debian Stretch 9 / Raspbian Stretch I recommend using an updated VPS.

@pauln Hey, I’m booted up and awake. What do you want to do? Do you want to move to a more recent version of Debian or do you want me to see if I can get your 7.5 working first? If you want me to see if I can get your 7.5 version working; I need to know: Is Docker running anything else? The issue is that when you change the Docker storage driver in the Docker config file; all existing containers will not be accessible; so we will need to: Make sure you have a full Discourse backup (always) Shutdown Docker. Edit the Docker config to change the storage driver. Restart Docker Rebuild Discourse If your Debian kernel supports OverlayFS, this will go smoothly. If not, it will fail, but no harm done, we can revert back to devicemapper. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks.

Yes I would like to get it working on 7.5 first. Docker is only running Discourse. Thank you lets do it :slight_smile:

[תמונה] pauln: Yes I would like to get it working on 7.5 first. Docker is only running Discourse. Thank you lets do it OK… that’s what I thought :slight_smile: Actually, the steps are outlined here: [תמונה] OverlayFS storage driver Learn how to optimize your use of OverlayFS driver. Take a quick look and let me know if you are OK with the steps outlined or if you have any questions. Thanks.

OK let me try this steps and get back to you? I did try similar and it did not work. Will keep you posted

[תמונה] pauln: OK let me try this steps and get back to you? I did try similar and it did not work. Will keep you posted If your Linux kernel does not support the OverlayFS, it will fail. No worries. You can revert back :wink: If it does not fail, then I can go back to sleep :slight_smile:

How can i test if it does support or not?

Docker will not restart. In other words, step 5 in the Docker instructions (above) will fail: 5. Start Docker. $ sudo systemctl start docker This will either fail or succeed… (you might need a different command other than systemctl , but the concept is the same)
