Hello community. It’s been a while since I updated my Discourse installation and today I went to do so and it’s giving me this error. I’ve never picked up something like this because I’m just an enthusiast and not a programmer. I tried to follow the steps described in this link - Manually update Discourse and Docker image to latest and unfortunately it didn’t work. How do I adjust this? FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return # Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"db_migrate", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'"]} bootstrap failed with exit code 1 ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

As far as the error is concerned, believing that it is this return that was returning Tasks: TOP => db:migrate (See full trace by running task with --trace) I, [2023-10-04T13:36:43.944790 #1] INFO -- : gem install multipart-post -v 2.3.0 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed multipart-post-2.3.0 1 gem installed gem install faraday-multipart -v 1.0.4 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed faraday-multipart-1.0.4 1 gem installed gem install ruby-openai -v 5.1.0 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed ruby-openai-5.1.0 1 gem installed gem install google_search_results -v 2.2.0 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed google_search_results-2.2.0 1 gem installed gem install wikipedia-client -v 1.17.0 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed wikipedia-client-1.17.0 1 gem installed gem install childprocess -v 4.1.0 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed childprocess-4.1.0 1 gem installed gem install safe_ruby -v 1.0.4 -i /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-chatbot/gems/3.2.2 --no-document --ignore-dependencies --no-user-install Successfully installed safe_ruby-1.0.4 1 gem installed Compiled theme-transpiler: tmp/theme-transpiler.js == 20230820010101 EnableEmbeddingExtension: migrating ========================= -- enable_extension(:embedding) I, [2023-10-04T13:36:43.945760 #1] INFO -- : Terminating async processes I, [2023-10-04T13:36:43.945832 #1] INFO -- : Sending INT to HOME=/var/lib/postgresql USER=postgres exec chpst -u postgres:postgres:ssl-cert -U postgres:postgres:ssl-cert /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/postmaster -D /etc/postgresql/13/main pid: 42 I, [2023-10-04T13:36:43.946048 #1] INFO -- : Sending TERM to exec chpst -u redis -U redis /usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf pid: 111 111:signal-handler (1696426603) Received SIGTERM scheduling shutdown... 2023-10-04 13:36:43.946 UTC [42] LOG: received fast shutdown request 2023-10-04 13:36:43.949 UTC [42] LOG: aborting any active transactions 2023-10-04 13:36:43.953 UTC [42] LOG: background worker "logical replication launcher" (PID 51) exited with exit code 1 2023-10-04 13:36:43.956 UTC [46] LOG: shutting down 111:M 04 Oct 2023 13:36:43.960 # User requested shutdown... 111:M 04 Oct 2023 13:36:43.960 * Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting. 111:M 04 Oct 2023 13:36:43.994 * DB saved on disk 111:M 04 Oct 2023 13:36:43.994 # Redis is now ready to exit, bye bye... 2023-10-04 13:36:44.003 UTC [42] LOG: database system is shut down FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return # Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"db_migrate", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'"]} bootstrap failed with exit code 1 ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem. ecd06a9462e1f89b72e3c8cd2f04a35fbc5a6777c65e6b123e110ce8875091c9

Hello and welcome @georgersantoss :slight_smile: If you scroll up from that end ‘FAILED’ block you should be able to see more detailed error messages within the output that you can share here (or paste all of it in so we can have a look :slight_smile:)

Chatbot requires additions to app.yml and has done for a while. See the OP of the plugin topic.

The Chatbot plugin I installed. It was removing it and redoing the rebuilding command that worked. The plugin link I was using is this GitHub - merefield/discourse-chatbot: An AI bot with RAG capability for Topics, Chat & Customer Support in Discourse, currently powered by OpenAI · GitHub

It really had been a while since I updated and so I couldn’t even keep up with this topic. But now that I know, I will check more about it.

Apologies it’s a breaking change but the nature of the technology is a lot of it is experimental. The new features are worth the effort.

@JammyDodger

I found the problem. It was a plugin causing conflict when doing the reconstruction.

I took it out and I was able to adjust what I needed here.

Thank you for your attention.
