I’m having the same issue. The [last time Discourse broke](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-track-down-failure-of-discourse-upstream-inside-container-resulting-in-502-bad-gateway/256099) was because of an undetected issue with plugins. I’m using these:

```plaintext
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/tfpk/discourse-reveal-anonymous.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-push-notifications.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-data-explorer.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-math.git

```

Can we compare notes? Are there any known issues right now with these plugins?
