I got an email notification the other day that my self-hosted Discourse site (Ubuntu 18.04.6 on Contabo) was due an update, so to the Admin page I went to update. As usual, I first needed to update docker-manager, and then run the rest of the update for the site. That update seemed to freeze in place–it reached a certain point, and then didn’t move at all. After about an hour of that, I figured CLI intervention was called for, so I ssh’d into the server and did `cd /var/discourse; git pull; ./launcher rebuild app`. That completed without apparent error, but I’m left with a site that looks like this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/d/e/bdeda2ec577a72852d77de9573028de743aac8e2.png) (the dots are animated in real life). Thinking that the software might just be taking some time to start up, I waited–over a day, in fact–with no change. Rebooting the server had no effect, nor did rebuilding again. Interestingly, my users are still able to post by email, and the site sends those out as expected. I’d appreciate some pointers here–what can I do to get the site back up? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/after-update-site-wont-come-up/251757)._
