In multi node setup with web_only container behind load-balancer noticed that some settings when changed are applied only on single node (probably the one to which I was connected through load-balancer when making changes). So noticed these specifically: Global notice, Globally pinned posts and now the latest, when changing theme to update custom one.
So in the end changes are represented to users only if load-balancer connect them to same node where they were made. Which leads to mixed page loads and messy site render in some cases.
Now the question. Do I need to run some config reload command in rake on all nodes after such changes or maybe some specific env variable needs to be added to container when running it, for auto-reloads/cluster-mode for config to be propagated to sibling nodes automatically?
Thanks! I had a feeling I was missing something there. Are there maybe some documentation article that mentions after which config changes such actions are required? Did a quick look at documentation articles and didn’t notice anything for that or HA setup specifically.
Edit: seems that the cache:clear is not available
docker exec -it web_only bash
root@discourse-build-web-only:/# cd /var/www/discourse
root@discourse-build-web-only:/var/www/discourse# su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake cache:clear'
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'cache:clear' (See the list of available tasks with `rake --tasks`)
/var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.3.0/gems/rake-13.3.0/exe/rake:27:in `<top (required)>'
/usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in `load'
/usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in `<main>'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
When checking with that --tasks I also do not see it.
