Hi, I’ve had a Discourse forum running for about a month now, but today I woke up with the forum returning a completely blank page. Restarting the docker instance did not fix the issue. I tried running ./launcher rebuild which appeared to have worked, but when navigating to the page it works once…

I just did an update via the admin dashboard, and now my pages are blank as well. Looking at the page source, looks like it’s all there, just nothing is rendering. I have the same exact log errors, but they predate today’s update, so I think probably unrelated to the current issue.

Nothing is working for me. No rendering, no HTML. I guess I had automated updates on or something because I didn’t manually update.

Well I found my issue: the discourse-akismet plugin, which I also updated along with the discourse-tagging plugin. I removed discourse-akismet, did a rebuild, and my site is accessible again. I can’t imagine that this wasn’t tested prior to pushing out the Discourse 1.3.0.beta7 update…

I only have docker_manager, lazyYT, and poll plugins installed :expressionless:

The askimet change has been rolled back, it should be safe again for you to update.
