I’ve been self-hosting a Discourse installation on a DigitalOcean droplet for several years and have updated Discourse many times with no problems both via the admin page and ssh-ing in and using the CLI. This is the first time I’m having a problem. Today (February 8th, 2025) I updated the Docker container via the admin page just fine. Then I stared updating Discourse, and it failed. I ssh’d in and ran:

```plaintext
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

```

and got this error:

```plaintext
WARNING: Docker version 20.10.14 deprecated, recommend upgrade to 24.0.7 or newer.

WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image

This process may take anywhere between a few minutes to an hour, depending on your network speed

Please be patient

Your Docker installation is not working correctly

See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/docker-error-on-bootstrap/13657/18?u=sam

```

(I no longer have access to the error messages from the admin update page since the Discourse server is down.)

Does anyone know why this is happening and what I need to do?

Please help!
