[image] Jonathan5: What is the best way to check whether my VPS needs any upgrades, before performing a Discourse update? If I drew a flowchart to answer, the first question would be something like Do all of the following apply? If so, proceed according to your experience. If not, be sure t…

Discourse 3.4 is looking for Docker 24.0.7 min It looks like from Google search that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS supports it. [The image displays a Google search result indicating that Docker 24.0.7 is fully supported on Ubuntu 22.04 and can be used without compatibility issues. (Captioned by AI)] It is of…

[image] Dan DeMontmorency: Discourse 3.4 is looking for Docker 24.0.7 min My docker version (20.10.21) is earlier than that and my Discourse version is 3.4.0.beta4-dev. Discourse is telling me to upgrade now to 3.4.0.beta4 – “A critical update is available. Please update!” Two questions: A…

[image] Jonathan5: I guess I should update to Ubuntu 24.04 and whatever Docker version comes with that, before upgrading Discourse again. Does that sound right? I would spin up a new VM and move to it as described at Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync . If you don’t mind a bunch o…

I think moving from 18.04 to 20.04 I just did it on the same server. Probably following something like How to upgrade your Ubuntu release - Ubuntu Server documentation . I’m not 100% sure. What’s your view on that?
