A few people have encountered this issue recently (including me 🙂). What worked for me was this piece of advice:

> [@"Zlib::BufError: buffer error" - Discourse update fails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/zlib-buffer-error-discourse-update-fails/311347/5):
>
> I believe the cause is because when `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_LICENSE_KEY` is specified in the `.yml` container file without a corresponding `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID`.
> 
> …
> 
> For me the fix was adding `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_ACCOUNT_ID` and rebuilding (I rebuilt twice, but this was most likely a temporary issue).

🥳

Next step, could you try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and see if there’s a theme component or custom piece of code that’s interfering?

Could you also check your `/logs` for more detail, as well as the browser console.
