I was performing my monthly maintenance and updates to Discourse and noticed the following errors during rebuild: I, [2025-03-22T15:54:02.806441 #1] INFO -- : > cd /var/www/discourse && sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload_assets `/root` is not writable. and I, [2025-03-22T15:54:12.2…

You are on sudo and on root, correct?

All were attempted under “root” with the same session.

[image] LotusJeff: under “root” But was the process running as root?

Which is why I posted the question. This has never happened before with numerous rebuilds.

For my case, it’s db:migrate not running properly. tried with different backend servers, but all with the same error msg. I intiailly thought it’s due to postgres not supporting 16 or 17, so i tried to run with below hooks. still nothing worked. hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: /var/…

After removing almost all additional app.yml items, I stumbled upon an error attributing PG vector. With postgre vector extension installation, the build process completed successfully, although I still see ‘/root not writable’
