I’m trying to track down a weird issue in a non-dockerized installation (I realize that support for this type of installation is limited/non-existent, so just looking for some pointers as to what might be wrong here - our internal packaging team used the ‘developer build’ instructions to work out ho…

I see sometimes it’s correct: [A webpage with sections in Spanish and Polish, including subsections about tumbleweed and openSUSE. (Captioned by AI)] Pulling a raw categories.json shows it’s only wrong in the excerpt: "description": "Esta sección del Foro se dedica a las personas usuaria…

Yeah, that’s my guess - whatever is generating the excerpt is probably the right place. Just not sure where that is in the code itself. But knowing to look for the term “excerpt” is definitely helpful - thanks! It did look to me like it was coming across as iso-8859-1 at some point, so appreciate…

My guess is that something is doing some kind of caching. That’s not much help, but that’s what I’d try to look for. Unless they just hate Docker, they can build their own images with discourse_docker . Then they can see exactly what is happening and not have to trust anyone else’s images.

[image] hendersj: but more a way of using the configuration management tools they’re using to manage everything in the same manner. Having a one-off that uses Docker/podman would add other complexities to using the CI/CD setup they’re using (or so I understand). I understand how they think th…

Appreciate the advice. The good news is that the backups from our prod system work in a dockerized installation just fine (I’ve tested that), so if/when they decide that using a Docker-based installation is the right way to go, we’ll be in good shape. We’ve got a lot of data (migrated from vBullet…

It seems to be something specific to the excerpting functions - I’ve just noticed this happens on our search results pages as well: [image] (for example) The text is: I don’t see a “Share” button. Which is something I quoted in a response to a user (panorain) myself. I happened on this by m…

It looks like we upgraded nokogiri to 1.17.2, and I see the Dockerized version is 1.16.7 - I suspect that’s the cause of this issue. Going to see about reverting that update (and anything else that was updated at the same time).

so I downgraded our package to use nokogiri 1.16 again. What I dont get. When ever I bump a gem to reduce duplicated packaging, I check if there had been related changes in main there haven’t been any. Unless I missed something "description": "Witaj w polskiej sekcji społeczności openSUSE!"…

Ah:

is shorthand for:

doc = Nokogiri.HTML5(html, encoding: encoding)

forcing UTF8 there would break parsing of non-UTF8 responses from webservers
