Hi,

In the last days we started suddenly having an issue with sending emails… then we’ve tried to upgrade/update without success (the update page hangs and every component - docker, discourse, plugins - get stuck at “Checking for new version…”) and then we tried to update everything via root but the rebuild fails giving the following message (among other things):

```plaintext
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com`

```

Our host has confirmed that there are no problems with the server connectivity, SSL, firewall or any other thing.

I suspect is something with docker. Even checked this topic: [Docker sometimes fails to connect to github.com - Installation - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/docker-sometimes-fails-to-connect-to-github-com/250643/2) and tried:

```plaintext
# cd /var/discourse/
# ./launcher enter app
# wget -O - -v https://github.com/discourse/logster.git/ |wc

```

and got the following:

```plaintext
--2025-02-28 09:45:51-- https://github.com/discourse/logster.git
Resolving github.com (github.com)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘github.com’
      0 0 0

```

Any ideas on how to address this issue?
