There have been lots of good improvements to the files in [discourse/docs at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/docs) but those updates don’t seem to make it in to existing installations of Discourse, only new ones. **As a result, the older installations don’t have accurate/reliable/current documentation.**

Reproduce:

1. Use the Docker upgrade to update to a revision that has updated content in `/docs` within the repo, e.g., to **ADMIN-QUICK-START-GUIDE.md**.
2. Look at the “Quick Start” topic in your local Discourse installation.
3. Notice that the topic wasn’t updated since installing Discourse.
