How can I change this and have it retained across upgrades ? If I edit the web.template.yml in /var/discourse/templates I get a problem pulling new versions.

Eg: samples/web_only.yml master DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD: SOME_SECRET DISCOURSE_DB_HOST: data injects after: templates/web.template.yml master chmod: "+x" contents: | #!/bin/bash sv stop nginx - file: path: /etc/runit/3.d/02-unicorn chmod: "+x" contents: | #!/bin/bash sv stop unicorn - exec: cd: $home hook: code cmd: - git reset --hard - git clean -f - git remote set-branches --add origin main - git remote set-branches origin $version - git fetch --depth 1 origin $version

You can add the commands to change the rotation period in your container file :slight_smile:

In app.yml ? Any pointer to where I can see what I need to change or how to do this ? — EDIT ---- Ok - I figure that logrotate is being used, I can see /etc/logrotate.d/nginx in the container. If I edit that file in the container won’t it get destroyed when I rebuild my container and I’ll have to redo the change ?

You run your commands AFTER we run our commands, so you can change whatever and have it persisted.

Just in case I’ve got the wrong end of the stick, I need to make my change in the container in /etc/logrotate.d/nginx ? If so - when I rebuild the container the configuration change will be lost. It’s not persisted outside the container like configuration I specify in app.yml. I need to write and run a script of my own to maintain my configuration.

Nope, you would use an after hook never edit supplies shared templates

OK - I can hook into the rebuild process after your commands ? How and where do I do that - apologies for not being familiar with all the ins and outs of how discourse is building the containers.

Fantastic - I get it now :slight_smile:

Looking at web.template.yml there’s no hooks after logrotate’s configuration templates/web.template.yml master fi - file: path: /usr/local/bin/rake chmod: +x contents: | #!/bin/bash (cd /var/www/discourse && RAILS_ENV=production sudo -H -E -u discourse bundle exec bin/rake "$@") - file: path: /usr/local/bin/rbtrace chmod: +x contents: | #!/bin/bash (cd /var/www/discourse && RAILS_ENV=production sudo -H -E -u discourse bundle exec rbtrace "$@") - file: path: /usr/local/bin/stackprof chmod: +x contents: | #!/bin/bash Is the custom commands section of my app.yml a suitable location to put this until there’s a hook I can use ? ## Remember, this is YAML syntax - you can only have one block with a name run: - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands"
