Im not sure what I did, but I ended up attempting to upgrade via cli and did something to the forums. I tried first upgrading via the upgrade tool provided in the GUI but the site went down, so I did it through the CLI and im getting the same error [image]

[image] Headless: - git clone https://github.com/gdpelican/retort.git [image] Headless: - git clone https://github.com/merefield/discourse-topic-previews.git -b "theme_sidecar" Try removing the above two plugins, I think one of these two could be causing problems. You can move from retort to reactions and from topic previews to https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-tc-topic-list-previews and https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-topic-previews-sidecar

Looking at the logs provided by the container, I see the following: [image]

Yes I did try rebuilding the app, I am rebuilding now with adplugin removed to see if that changes anything and attempt to see if safe-mode works. I did try the doctor but it just provides a lot of info that doesn’t seem any clear indication of what’s going on. Ill provide that in a few minutes once its fully rebuilt.

safe-mode does not work and here is the provided discourse-doctor: DISCOURSE DOCTOR Sun Nov 20 08:02:54 CET 2022 OS: Linux discourse 4.15.0-91-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 28 11:09:48 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Found containers/app.yml ==================== YML SETTINGS ==================== DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME=forum.arcaneodyssey.dev SMTP_ADDRESS=smtp.mailgun.org DEVELOPER_EMAILS=REDACTED SMTP_PASSWORD=REDACTED SMTP_PORT=587 SMTP_USER_NAME=headless@mg.arcaneodyssey.dev LETSENCRYPT_ACCOUNT_EMAIL=REDACTED ==================== DOCKER INFO ==================== DOCKER VERSION: Docker version 20.10.17, build 100c701 DOCKER PROCESSES (docker ps -a) CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 3de708735f7f local_discourse/app "/sbin/boot" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, :::80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp, :::443->443/tcp app Discourse container app is running ==================== PLUGINS ==================== - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat-integration.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-whos-online.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-voting.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-checklist - git clone https://github.com/gdpelican/retort.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-patreon.git - git clone https://github.com/merefield/discourse-topic-previews.git -b "theme_sidecar" - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-spoiler-alert.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved.git - git clone https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-ratings.git - git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-follow.git - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reactions.git # - sudo -E -u discourse git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git # - git clone https://github.com/rimian/discourse-subscriptions.git WARNING: You have what appear to be non-official plugins.

Ill go ahead and try this, but either way should safe-mode still work? since thats not using plugins?

Safe mode won’t work if your container is throwing errors.

Gotcha, rebuilding the container now with the suggested changes, will post update once completed

There have been a couple of similar reports recently about the previews plugin being an old version, and updating that to its new repo fixes things: [image] Oops. The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem Self-hosting Could be this thing! I have this in my app.yml git clone https://github.com/merefield/discourse-topic-previews.git -b "theme_sidecar" This is obviously an old repo with a special branch! Will try with the latest one: git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-topic-previews-sidecar EDIT: It works!!! champagne Thanks a great deal to @raghukamath

I believe this fixed it! Thank you, I should prob check more often on the plugins I have that are no longer compatible with discourse newer versions. I appreciate your help immensely!

Topic Previews move to a Theme Component was initially experimental. When that experimentation ended and the theme component version matured the complimentary plugin branch was merged to the master branch and the plugin renamed to make its new purpose more obvious. The branch move meant that the old branch was no longer maintained. All you need to do is remove the branch option as the name changes are automatically mapped by GitHub. This happened some time ago. See: Topic List Previews (TLP) for up-to-date links. (Oh I see you posted them, thanks @itsbhanusharma )

Attempted to upgrade and I think I messed something up

Did you perform

cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app

from the command line?

If that doesn’t help, did you try ./discourse-doctor ?
