I’m trying to start a development environment with the latest tagged version of discourse. It was working until a new docker image was downloaded (when I d/boot\_dev --init) and I now get errors. It seems that the docker image gets out of sync with older versions of the source.

Any idea of what I’m doing wrong or how to make this work?

## Reproduction Steps

Docker development environment on Ubuntu.

```plaintext
$ git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse.git
$ cd discourse
$ git checkout v2.9.0.beta9
$ d/boot_dev --init

```

This fails during the “Migrating database…” phase with the following error:

```plaintext

Try this:

> [@Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009/223):
>
> As of the current git master, this will not complete successfully. I believe it’s a bug in core. To get a dev environment up and running, do the following after the error: d/rake db:migrate d/rake admin:create d/rails s plus in the next two terminals, d/ember-cli and d/mailhog.

Thank you. To clarify, this should work once the git core bug is resolved?

I suppose, for me it was a one time action, since then it works fine.
