This was a issue apart of another thread but I figure I would make a separate one since they aren’t the same issue (i think). (previous thread: Attempted to upgrade and I think I messed something up - installation - Discourse Meta) This is the error I am getting: [image]

[image] Headless: Seems like issues relating to the database? I’m guessing, but it seems possible that the database was uncleanly shutdown, needs to do a recover, and isn’t quite being given enough time to finish that. In fact, see this previous thread: [image]Discourse update doesn't wait for Postgress DB to shut down Whenever this happens, we usually (temporarily, as otherwise Git gets confused when updating the next time) replace the sleep 5 with a few more seconds so that Postgres has more time to settle/recover. discourse_docker/templates/postgres.template.yml at 4cd6a5d96ab1efee9b6893d781c8af9d3d2f56e2 · discourse/discourse_docker · GitHub and perhaps see also this much earlier thread: [image]FATAL: the database system is starting up Try increasing the sleep in templates/postgres.template.yml locally. Is your server slow? Database too big?

Commented them all out (except the mkdir and docker) still no luck. [image]

Yes it indeed is the same error. I have also attempted to uninstall/reinstall docker multiple times to fix this issue

what does docker ps and docker ps -a say?

I had that assumption too, just have no clue how to work with postgres via discourse. Its just weird because My issue was resolved from the prior thread, then when I added discourse-reactions and attempted to rebuild I just started getting this. Now nothing works even without plugins added lmao

Based on the error code, I was thinking it was like this issue Upgrade gone sideways [deprecated Guest Gate plugin], which made me concentrate on getting the plugins up-to-date. However, there may also have been an issue where they’d manually forced the old PSQL, and they fixed that before cleaning up the old plugins (which then fixed things properly) Upgrade gone sideways [deprecated Guest Gate plugin] - #3 by dylanb But I’m afraid resolving that is beyond my skill level. :slight_smile: Does that topic give any extra clues for you?

I was looking at that earlier too, sadly I could not see anything to help me.. and I really hope my forum data is not going to be wiped.. I have not had a backup created in a very very long time, so losing data would be unbelievably heartbroken.

Could you start your existing container to bring up the pre-rebuild version and take a backup before continuing? ./launcher start app

What I see in your errors right now is that postgres is not working as expected. It isn’t obvious where is error is coming from. @JammyDodger any ideas?
