I updated docker before updating tot he latest version (own instance hosted on a VPS).

The update went through, but now my admin dashboard and associated sections aren’t available. Whenever checking those url’s the forum “hangs”.

Is a “rebuild” through the terminal a possible solution?

Cheers,  
Roger

It should be done in a shell in the first place.

Hey, thanks for the tip. If that is the case, why have a web interface to update your forum?

Good question, and we don’t have any answers. But update announcement tells it. Plus how you rebuild indexes.

Because it makes things easier for lots of people some of the time.

A better question, though, is “If everyone knows the upgrade via the web interface will fail, why does it let me click the button?” And, I think that it’s really not supposed to, but for some reason that’s not happening.

Did you rebuild from the command line? See [PostgreSQL 15 update](https://meta.discourse.org/t/postgresql-15-update/349515)
