The UI upgrade said I needed to do a cli upgrade, so trying a bootstrap, but it’s failing. I’ve tried commenting out all the plugins apart from docker_manager in case there was an issue with them, but no change. Here are the end of the messages, any ideas?

Okay, I really should avoid doing this stuff when I’m a little tired, as it leads to doing totally stupid stuff. Like completely missing out the git pull and blanking on that fact no matter how many times you look :person_facepalming:! I wondered briefly if there could be something odd with the deprecated alt-logo theme component (which I forked just before the max-version was committed, since I still have to use it), but thankfully not. Sorry to have bothered you for something so silly & obvious!

Is this a standard install? How much ram and swap? What does df - h Say?

Installed originally using discourse-setup unless my mind is going, yes. Then split into separate data & web_only containers following the instructions on here. Also nowadays has an nginx proxy in front of it. Has successfully bootstrapped in the past though. $ free -mh total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 3.8Gi 1.8Gi 790Mi 278Mi 1.2Gi 1.4Gi Swap: 2.0Gi 436Mi 1.6Gi $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 386M 40M 346M 11% /run /dev/sda1 38G 21G 16G 58% / tmpfs 1.9G 96K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sdb 79G 36G 44G 46% /var/discourse /dev/sdc 42G 41G 719M 99% /mnt/HC_Volume_3697529 tmpfs 386M 0 386M 0% /run/user/1002 /dev/sdd 61G 53M 58G 1% /var/discourse/shared/web-only/backups

Sounds like you did these too, but also make sure that you git checkout main That one got me recently. And if you haven’t done a rebuild of data lately you’ll get an error with redis not being updated.

Didn’t get any errors about Redis, but had planned on doing a data rebuild anyway as it had been a little , which I’ve now done today. Thanks for the suggestion though.
