I am facing a bootstrap error on the current 3.5.0.beta7-dev as soon as I include the AI plugin into a web\_only container setup. The same build works fine **without** this plugin. From reading [Upgrade Error - rake db:migrate index on theme\_field\_id - #7 by pfaffman](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upgrade-error-rake-db-migrate-index-on-theme-field-id/278935/7) I suspect that the root cause is a missing extension on the (external) postgres server 13.20. The server has the extensions **hstore, pg\_trgm, plpgsql, unaccent** and is also used for a productive discourse installation which uses the same code, but without the AI plugin yet. **Can someone identify the required postgres extensions for the AI plugin?** I could not find this info in the [Discourse AI - Self-Hosted Guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-ai-self-hosted-guide/259598) .
