Why is every thread here closed? There are several relevant threads where I feel like it would make more sense to post my individual questions, but every old thread is closed (whether or not the problem was actually solved). Doesn’t this make it hard to identify when several people are having th…

[immagine] thornburg: The install directions are no good. I had to cobble together answers from multiple sets of directions to get it working. ALSO, why in the world would I ever run a remote script without seeing its contents? This is the worst installation method ever. Only one part has…

The “upgrade docker manager” part (which I have to run first) just returns a bunch of lines which end (Operation not permitted). Here’s a snippet: $ cd /var/www/discourse/plugins/docker_manager && git fetch && git reset --hard HEAD@{upstream} error: unable to unlink old '.gitignore' (Operation not…

[immagine] codinghorror: can you repro this? If so we should fix the installer. Yeah there are no provisions for account elevation in launcher, I am pretty sure this would be happening. Fixing is tricky bash voodoo.

Does anyone have any additional advice that might help me solve this? I’m still unable to update.

Why not just run it under root?

[immagine] sam: Why not just run it under root? Run what under root? I can’t SSH into the box, and the GUI upgrade doesn’t give me any option to change the way it runs. Are you suggesting I reinstall using root instead of sudo? Requiring root is a horrible security practice. I’m not sure …
