Automating upgrade of Discourse and plugins

support
1

Hi, I’m managing few instances of Discourse installed using this method with Docker https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md

I would like to automate upgrading forum version using Ansible, including Discourse plugins.

What commands do I need to execute?
Is this enough?

cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild

I’m not Ruby person and I want to ask before I break something :slight_smile:

Yes, just add git pull after the cd and that should work fine.

The other thing you eventually need to worry about is Docker upgrades. Though that technically is covered by OS updates.
