Hi - We were attempting to upgrade our discourse installation via ssh (as the online upgrader seemed to not be working) using the following commands: cd /var/discourse git pull sudo ./launcher rebuild app However, on rebuild, we get the following errors: Pups::ExecError: /root/upgrade_postgres failed with return # Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:108:in `spawn' exec failed with the params "/root/upgrade_postgres" 9e8b63f0e289db391bb044443f449b122b5180399e2bd231bcfb10c4ce12a92c ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one There are no other errors that I can see, nor can I attempt to go back to the online site upgrader to retry (because the site is now dead due to the rebuild failing). We’d like to get our site back up ASAP. Help?

For now, i will just wait more answer, maybe you can restore everthing so wait. About the backup, you have this on the panel admin, (upload and restore option) [תמונה] I guess if you have a backup (and you can’t access to your current admin panel) you can setup fresh install then upload and restore the backup. :smirk: Edit don’t forget to allow backup on /admin/site_settings/category/backups thx to @cpradio

I haven’t updated my instance yet, but I know that there were a lot of infra updates with the latest image release – take a peek into this topic here, this should outline a few extra steps to get things back up: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-docker-image-version-1-3-3-released/44778

Thanks, that was helpful! Unfortunately, I think I managed to screw it all up by doing the pg upgrade stuff in the wrong order (specifically, I forgot to backup the database before rebuilding the app again). I do have the files saved as postgres_data_old, but I can’t seem to get at them (my pg9.3 also seems to have disappeared in favor of pg-xc). Am I screwed? Currently all I’m seeing is the default discourse install

what about automatic backup ? you havn’t one ?

We have an automatic backup (through discourse), though not of the entire server image. Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to restore backups via ssh? The only thread I found was this one, but it doesn’t seem to apply to me (the files shown are .gz files, but the files I see in the backups folder are .tar)

At least, if you have backup you can setup a fresh install of Discourse and then restore the backup from the admin panel. At least…

How would I do that? Would I just do a fresh install and copy the file (and/or my app.yml) into the relevant directory (and then the backup should just work itself)?

Go to Admin > Backups in your web browser. Click “upload” in your web browser and upload the backup there.

Thanks. I assume that this means I’m screwed any other way…

No, you need to enable the allow restore site setting to allow that restore button to be used.
