Hello. I’ve been using Discourse for a good 6 months without any flaws. However, when attempting to restart it today I ran into an error: root@fortcraft:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app Ensuring discourse docker is up to date Fetching origin fatal: unable to access ‘GitHub - discourse/discourse_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub’: Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Connection timed out error: Could not fetch origin Discourse Docker is up-to-date Stopping old container /usr/bin/docker stop -t 10 app app cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin error: RPC failed; result=7, HTTP code = 0 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly 837f29d8b58a80400a9f6b8a45ebf3b1f5993fab16a50c2f6109ed88771a5b98 FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP Not sure what’s going on. I’ve rebooted it several times before without this issue occurring. I have also looked into DNS issues as those were the most relevant results on Google, but these fixes seem to have no effect. Docker Upstart and SysVinit configuration file Customize location of Docker binary (especially for development testing). DOCKER=“/usr/local/bin/docker” Use DOCKER_OPTS to modify the daemon startup options. DOCKER_OPTS=“–dns 8.8.8.8 --dns 8.8.4.4” If you need Docker to use an HTTP proxy, it can also be specified here. export http_proxy=“http://127.0.0.1:3128/” This is also a handy place to tweak where Docker’s temporary files go. export TMPDIR=“/mnt/bigdrive/docker-tmp” This is the /etc/default/docker file that was referred to in other posts. All help is appreciated, I currently can’t start the app. Edit: After the 13th attempt it seems to be working again. Any idea why this happens?

see https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourses-reliance-on-github-can-be-a-liability/26869/4 It seems github had an attack.
