[image] But clicking on upgrade produces: [image] Now, obviously, I could just follow the instructions and do the git pull and rebuild, but where has this come from? I just upgraded to 1.8 from 1.7.x without any problems a week ago, so how is it suddenly “running an old version of the Discours…

[image] peternlewis: so how is it suddenly “running an old version of the Discourse image”? Must be a timing thing around when we released an update to docker manager. Bottom line is you are running an old version of Ruby in your image and we need that updated.

OK, weird. Anyway, I did as specified (git pull/launcher rebuild) and all went well. Now it says “v1.8.1 + 13”. What does the “+ 13” mean?

OK, all good, I am back up to date (well ahead of date actually :wink: and have a better understanding of what’s going on. Thanks.

[image] zogstrip: That’s because we backported some bug fixes. I noticed something really odd yesterday on my sandbox. I had just done a GUI update, all went well. When it was done it showed the blue “Upgrade to the latest version” button to the right, but when I clicked the git compare butt…

And the same issue again from 1.8.4 to 1.8.6. You are running an old version of the Discourse image. Upgrades via the web UI are disabled until you run the latest image. To do so log in to your server using SSH and run: cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher rebuild app More info on our support s…
