I was prompted to upgrade today, and then required to do the build through launcher. Since then Discourse has been basically broken. Already logged in users can see the home page and select messages from there to display, but virtually all functions user and admin just hang with the throbber spinning. The production log is empty. I’ve tried stopping and restarting of course. Not even sure where to start looking. Ideas? Thanks! UPDATE: As indicated in my various replies below, it appears that the root of the problem is that rdis is not accepting connections, and the rdis log extract below shows rdis apparently looping, each time starting with: 100 changes in 300 seconds. Saving… and never reaching a “waiting for connection” state. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Because other issues have been resolved, I’m moving the ssl question to a separate thread. Thanks all!

Yeah, that looks about like what I see from this morning’s build. But nothing is actually listening on that port. It’s bizarre.

Oddly, my setup is running fine, I have root 26269 0.0 0.0 2160 0 ? Ss Dec22 0:00 runsv redis root 26277 0.0 0.0 2304 24 ? S Dec22 0:00 svlogd /var/log/redis uuidd 26278 0.2 0.4 83816 4088 ? Sl Dec22 3:31 /usr/bin/redis-server *:6379 and yet I too don’t see (from lsof, inside or outside the container) anything listening on that port.

That’s sort of encouraging. And sort of not …

My log shows a clutch of entries every 5 mins. Perhaps this is normal, and your forum troubles are not related to redis?? $ less /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log/redis/current 23478:C 23 Dec 2021 18:47:35.233 * DB saved on disk 23478:C 23 Dec 2021 18:47:35.234 * RDB: 1 MB of memory used by copy-on-write 52:M 23 Dec 2021 18:47:35.290 * Background saving terminated with success 52:M 23 Dec 2021 18:52:36.033 * 100 changes in 300 seconds.

Thanks. Though this suggests that I’m back to ground zero with a broken forum … Ouch.

When you rebuild, you have a [FAILED] message at the end? Could you show us the lines before this failed alert? (as much as you can) We’ll find some clues in this.

I don’t think there’s a FAILED message at the end. I’ll run another build. Thanks!

If the rebuild goes to the end, my guess is a broken plugin or theme component. Check the console in your browser (F12) to see if you have some red alerts. You can also try [your-forum]/safe-mode to load your forum without plugins and themes

Yeah, no FAILURE. The build ends apparently fine and then the docker run appears fine as well.

Nothing obvious in the console. Attempting to run safe mode but get “site can’t be reached” error from Chrome. But I can access the (the normal way) the home page and static messages.

Thanks. I don’t think I want to go that route just to solve the ssl problem. There must be a narrower solution, given that the other problems seem to have been resolved. But again, thanks.
