I am trying to recover from an upgrade that went bad when I had a disk issue that caused the container to crash. Now when I try to run ./discourse-doctor or ./launcher rebuild.. or even a new install it fails here. Seems like there may be an issue with the container image? 2.0.20260915-0028: Pull…

Oh! That makes sense given the disk issue - I was thinking it was coming from the container. Let me try on a new system. I’ve been looking at it so long I didn’t realize that. I was focused on the ruby error at the beginning.

[image] merefield: ./launcher rebuild app This did it! I swear I tried this multiple times in some incarnation but this finally did it. Thank you!

I’d try

cd /var/discourse
./launcher cleanup
docker image rm discourse/base:2.0.20260915-0028
./launcher rebuild app
