Hi guys, The discourse is running in a docker. Here is the message that we see We’re currently on 2.9.0.beta5 but the current release (shown as critical to upgrade to) is 3.5.0.beta7. If I run ./launcher rebuild app I am getting x86_64 arch detected. ERROR: Kernel version 3.10.0-1160…

I think you need Docker 28? But maybe 26 would be good enough. [image] techs: if switching to Ubuntu were that easy, we would do it. It looks like there is no way to upgrade Centos 7, so you’re going to need to move to a new VM, or if this is your own server, you’ll need to install a new OS …

I see that there are open source successors to Centos, and AlmaLinux appears to be a strong contender - CERN chose it, and they know what they are doing. It’s RedHat flavour so your sysadmin skills will transfer. I’m not confident that you can solve your problem by cherry-picking a Docker. Proces…
