[תמונה] Dan DeMontmorency: Discourse 3.4 is looking for Docker 24.0.7 min My docker version (20.10.21) is earlier than that and my Discourse version is 3.4.0.beta4-dev. Discourse is telling me to upgrade now to 3.4.0.beta4 – “A critical update is available. Please update!” Two questions: A…

[תמונה] Jonathan5: I guess I should update to Ubuntu 24.04 and whatever Docker version comes with that, before upgrading Discourse again. Does that sound right? I would spin up a new VM and move to it as described at Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync . If you don’t mind a bunch o…
