Context: Iโm creating a staging site to test updating production to the latest version.
./launcher rebuild web\_only fails with
`chown: cannot dereference '/var/www/discourse/public/plugins/discourse-internet-explorer': No such file or directory`
```yaml
params:
## Which Git revision should this container use? (default: tests-passed)
#version: tests-passed
#version: 760fbf0c417d09559dc3d4267df24e55e67e604a
version: v2.4.0.beta1
```
Looks like itโs related to

I am getting an error when trying to rebuild the container: I, [2019-12-24T17:46:51.163113 #1] INFO -- : \> cd /var/www/discourse && find /var/www/discourse ! -user discourse -exec chown discourse {} \+ chown: cannot dereference '/var/www/discourse/public/plugins/discourse-internet-explorer': No such file or directory It looks like the discourse-internet-explorer plugin was introduced in the v2.4.0 โฆ
Any ideas on how to work around this?

Yeah doing historic installs is not going to be easy, recommend you choose an earlier base image. You can control that with the `base_image: ....` element.

It is a top level element

Hi there! I seem to get this error on latest version (2.5.0.beta3) while bootstrapping (I have a container built and running, but need to rebuild it to remove plugins and fix some configs).
Are there any obvious ways to fix it or will I need to clean-rebuild with a downtime the users of the forum will hate me for? ๐

Updating the discourse\_docker repo before rebuilding the image worked for me.

By pulling the image or the repository itself? I will try that! Tyvm ๐

I meant pulling the repository itself. There are a few recent commits in `discourse_docker` repo that fixes the issue due to removed plugins. I was working off a month-old repo which didnโt have those fixes. A git fetch/git merge helped.

Aye, tried that (forgot to come back here and say something, hehe). Working great now!
Thank you for the help ๐
