I just installed the discourse, the first update was done automatically, but then has another update to version 1.8.0beta11, and it’s by SSH, I got to do, but the site stopped working, and I installed again, now I’m in doubt, Is it really necessary to upgrade? Or could this version v1.6.0.beta1 +140 always stay with it?

If you just installed Discourse, why are you on version 1.6.0? That is definitely not a safe version to be on. What process did you use to install Discourse?

I installed with the DigitalOcean tutorial, and as soon as I entered the admin, I requested the upgrade, and I installed it, what is dangerous?

Can you give us the link to said tutorial? As 1.6.0 is very old. The latest stable version is 1.7.8, there are many security updates since 1.6.0, so I’m not sure how you got that version to begin with.

If you followed that tutorial, you can’t possibly be on 1.6.0, is that a typo? Can you indicate where you see that version being mentioned in your install? You have to be on 1.8.0.beta11… Right now you will be on tests-passed branch (the default). You will likely see that updates are available on a daily basis, but you need not worry about that. When the new stable version 1.8.0 is released (probably in a couple more weeks, maybe a month?), you can update your app.yml and replace tests-passed with stable and do a rebuild.

Is the version 1.6.0 that I have, should I wait for version 1.8 or redo the installation?

Can you screenshot the /admin area where it displays the installed version and latest version in the dashboard? I just can’t fathom how you got it to install 1.6.0.

Welp, he PM’d me a screenshot showing 1.6.0 was the version mentioned as installed. I think he is going to try to do a clean install to see if it happens again. @Wiliam_Joaquim, after running ./discourse-setup you didn’t alter your app.yml by chance did you? You left it alone?

Maybe he followed this tutorial which seems dated? The One Click App at DigitalOcean says “Discourse on 14.04” which could explain why he has 1.6.0

@Wiliam_Joaquim, did you have any success with a new clean install?

Do I need to upgrade to version 1.8.0.beta11?
