Rebuilding discourse is always a scary task for me. Today I wanted to add a plugin, and needed to rebuild discourse for that and it failed with a [rubygem ratelimit error](https://meta.discourse.org/t/update-failing-due-to-rate-limiting-by-rubygems/64636/37). Now whatever I do, I cant have a successful rebuild, and I need to make my forum live again as soon as possible. My question is, How can we start discourse after failed rebuild? I tried `./launcher start app` but it didn’t help.

After a first failed rebuild `. /launcher restart app` should restore to the previous version
But it probably won’t work in your case, I would suggest to delete all plugins for now, test your app.yml in a yaml validator, and it should work after another rebuild

Yes. Interestingly, I should remove all my plugins to not hit rubygem ratelimit.
Do you have any Idea how not to be ratelimited ? I really need my plugins?

Can you provide some more details about what kind of server setup it is?
