Perhaps have a look at

Alas…

root@forum:~# sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
sudo: ./launcher: command not found

You should navigate to the discourse directory first with cd /var/discourse.

Thanks, it’s working now. I’ll get back to you when it’s finished.

Thank you very much, it’s fixed!

For next time and for other users, since it seems more efficient to perform updates via SSH, what commands should be executed when the Admin Panel indicates a Docker update AND a Discourse update? And in what order should we proceed?

A rebuild upgrades both :slight_smile:

Thanks! So in summary

cd /var/discourse
sudo git pull
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

I don’t think git pull is necessary, a rebuild performs it. :thinking:
sudo isn’t required if you are logged in as root.

You can also run it as a single command: /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app.
