So last night I go ahead and update Discourse from the admin panel. It gets to the last step and I just leave the computer and go to bed (I mean the process is running on a remote server so it doesn’t need me to babysit, right?)

I come back the next morning and my forum is down – “502 bad gateway nginx” is all it says. Googling around and searching this forum, I eventually figure out I should try rebuilding. So I save a snapshot of the DO droplet, ssh into my droplet, and run `./launcher rebuild app`. Luckily, the forum comes back online.

So I go to check in on the upgrade in the admin panel.

This is what I see:

Okay, so I click on “currently upgrading…”

Been like that for a while now.

So… should I just leave it and hope it resolves? Should I click “reset upgrade?” Will that brick my forum?

Just want to do a quick sanity check before I break anything else.

It’s fine to “reset the upgrade”. You just did one when rebuilding 😉

Cool, funnily enough I go back to the upgrade panel and it says everything’s magically up to date!
