I ran a web update today of Discourse + all plugins, and midway in the update there was a message that the update failed. The forum also went down with a message saying something like “the software powering this forum” is having an issue. I tried git pull and rebuild, but it failed with the following message and left the forum completely offline: Done 'chunk.178.0c434e9ed79f6e7671b2-ef171b1612b472ed8d08fd8dc9f8a4e4b100b9e910c9285348e11a55846a9823.js' : 0.01 secs Done 'Done compressing all JS files' : 26.75 secs rake aborted!

Any idea what can be causing it? I also ran discourse doctor, which ended up creating 502 errors. I commented out any third-party plugins I have installed and tried rebuilding again, but no dice… Not really sure what my next step would be here… Any ideas?

You might want to comment out your MaxMindDB API key, it seems that is what is failing.

@RGJ amazing, thank you! You just saved me from nearly having a heart attack. I do now recall adding in the API key some time ago so that hopefully I would get the MaxMind functionality working for the forum whenever I did the next rebuild. Guess that came back to bite me! Any idea why the MaxMind key is causing the site to fail building? Could it be an incorrect API key or something else? I had entered it in the following format: DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY: kEyHeR3 Should it be entered with surrounding "s? Edit: The key is showing as being “used” just now, so I think I’ve entered the correct key: [CleanShot 2023-03-16 at 20.13.37@2x]

Hey @Falco, here’s another one of these failing because of maxmind.

@Falco if it would help you reproduce I’d be happy to share my specific MaxMind key in a PM.

[image] Thomas K. Running: @Falco if it would help you reproduce I’d be happy to share my specific MaxMind key in a PM. Thanks, but no need, since as far as I can see any invalid key or gibberish will trigger the bug.

It doesn’t seem to be invalid, though… See my screenshot above, it even registers use for the key during the rebuild… :man_shrugging: It was generated from my MaxMind account on https://www.maxmind.com/en/accounts/[MyAccountID]/license-key. Anyway, I’ll try with a new key and see if it works now. EDIT: Nope, that didn’t work. Generated a new key, added it to app.yml, rebuilt. Still failed in the same way. I also verified that my account has access to GeoLite 2: [CleanShot 2023-03-17 at 08.40.23@2x] I also accepted their GeoLite 2 EULA again for good measure. I’m a paid customer of their GeoIP2 Insights service, not sure if that could contribute to the issues?
