Bootstrap Error when trying to rebuild

Installation
1

My Discourse install at Digital Ocean is behaving very oddly. While it is still running fine I can’t do anything via SSH anymore. When I try to enter the container I get the error that the container is not running.

And when I try to rebuild I get:

FAILED

--------------------

Pups::ExecError: socat /dev/null UNIX-CONNECT:/shared/postgres_run/.s.PGSQL.5432 || exit 0 && echo postgres already running stop container ; exit 1 failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 45 exit 1>

Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:112:in `spawn'

exec failed with the params "socat /dev/null UNIX-CONNECT:/shared/postgres_run/.s.PGSQL.5432 || exit 0 && echo postgres already running stop container ; exit 1"

** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

What can I do?

Thanks.

Did you add some other container running postgres? Did you rename your app.yml?

3

Not really. I added another Droplet but that’s on a different IP.
And I can still enter the app.yml with nano.

Actually, I might have created a second container when I was importing some mbox files. I seem to have an app.yml and an import.yml

You probably need to

cd /var/discourse
./launcher destroy import
6

So it seems like the Import container is the one I am now using. Any harm in keeping both containers?

7

If there isn’t, why are we having this conversation?

What you (probably) want to do is

./launcher stop import
./launcher rebuild app
# make sure that the site is working
./launcher destroy import # so that it doesn't start up when you reboot
# and to be sure that you're not confused in the future
rm containers/import.yml
