> [@Move from standalone container to separate web and data containers](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-from-standalone-container-to-separate-web-and-data-containers/29413): > > warning This is an advanced setup. Don’t follow this unless you are experienced with Linux server administration and Docker. You also need to pay close attention to commits to discourse\_docker to make sure you notice if there’s a version bump for postgres or redis. Converting your Current Setup I managed to migrate to two containers. If anyone else needs instructions, this is how it worked for me. The process includes backup, setting up separate web and data containers and restore data. … Sidesteps this - it allows you to bootstrap whilst still online, then switch out the containers resulting in seconds of downtime, not minutes. It is then arguably pointless to have an offline page. The other benefit is that you can confirm the success of the build via the bootstrap before committing to it 👍, potentially saving you hours of downtime. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-an-offline-page-to-display-when-discourse-is-rebuilding-or-starting-up/45238)._
