Hi,

I follow the installation instruction at [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

1. How do i go inside the code to perform things like bin/rake admin:create

2. Is there anyway I can set it to pull from docker’s stable branch? I think it’s pulling from master

Thanks!

`./launcher enter app`

Should be able to get you inside the container.

Do you mean Discourse? If so, you’re probably pulling from `beta`, which is currently considered best practice (and therefore is the default).

If you want to switch to `stable` (which isn’t necessarily more stable than `beta`), you can do so in `app.yml` **when the next stable version is released**.

Sorry i meant discourse’s stable branch.

when you mention app.yml, did you mean this particular attribute to set?

## Which Git revision should this container use? (default: tests-passed)

#version: tests-passed  
version: stable

or can i edit images/discourse/DockerFile and set it to checkout stable branch?

That’s the one.

Keep in mind that downgrades are not supported, so only change this value if the new branch has a newer version.
