I saw that a few official plugins needed updating, as well as my Discourse version. Just a new commit hash, nothing major. However, after letting it do its thing, I get the dreaded ‘Oops The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.’ Here are the errors in /logs: [List of errors and messages on a monitoring screen for web servers or applications.

Have you tried a ./launcher rebuild app

Never thought of that, lol. Will run it, thanks!

@pfaffman I can close the terminal and it will still run in the background, correct?

If you’re asking that question, the answer is “No,” and you should keep the terminal open and at least check that it finished without errors. What you should probably do is keep it open in one window that you can see while you do something less boring tha watching text scroll by in another window. If your question is “how can I keep a ssh session running so that it won’t close when I disconnect and I can reconnect to it later” then you should find out about screen or tmux. It seems to me like your understanding of how terminal sessions work is such that just keeping the terminal open is the best course of action for you.

Rebuilt the forum and it’s working now.

If you want this, you need to use a session manager like screen or tmux.
