all i did was add a line to app.yml to add plugin, and after that i went with rebuild… i got this error! help guys !!! discourse@ubuntu:/var/discourse$ ./launcher rebuild app WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image This process may take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour, depending on your network speed Please be patient Unable to find image 'discourse/discourse:1.3.5' locally

That’s a routine warning. You should try ./launcher rebuild app after changing app.yml. You may also need to run it twice, if it needs to pull down the base image again.

the rebuild process can take 10-15 minutes, so be patient :slight_smile:

nice , sorry for trouble im totaly noob when it comes to discourse but damn i love it ! its doing its thing, thank you bro again!

For me – for whatever reason – if I actually want to upgrade Discourse, I have to run that command again after it pulls down the new base image. You may need to do the same.

yea i had to do it again, but as i saw, and im afraid i just destroyed my discourse… it added new port or something like that, i hardly could see it on cmd still not done, but i wish i didnt destroyed my forum it had much in it i think its almost done… 2016-06-22 14:26:21 UTC [43-2] LOG: received fast shutdown request 2016-06-22 14:26:21 UTC [43-3] LOG: aborting any active transactions 2016-06-22 14:26:21 UTC [50-2] LOG: autovacuum launcher shutting down I, [2016-06-22T14:26:21.409261 #14] INFO -- : Sending TERM to exec chpst -u redis -U redis /usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf pid: 156 2016-06-22 14:26:21 UTC [47-1] LOG: shutting down 156:signal-handler (1466605581) Received SIGTERM scheduling shutdown... 156:M 22 Jun 14:26:21.423 # User requested shutdown... 156:M 22 Jun 14:26:21.423 * Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting. 156:M 22 Jun 14:26:21.508 * DB saved on disk 156:M 22 Jun 14:26:21.508 # Redis is now ready to exit, bye bye... 2016-06-22 14:26:21 UTC [47-2] LOG: database system is shut down edit2: ALL DONE and its working :))) man im glad its done

It depends on the speed of your network (for downloading the new image) and the speed of your CPU and disk (for the build). I would say on most average servers it’s about 8 minutes, but on a very fast server it can be as low as 3 minutes.

:slight_smile: it has been done by aprox 10min thanks for all support guys, really!!! this makes discourse what it is, perfect candidate for my forum :slight_smile:
