Hi there,

I’ve just upgraded the DO server on which my Discourse forum is hosted from a 1GB instance to a 2GB instance.

Then I changed the the app.yml file to use 3 unicorn\_workers instead of 2. (Anything else I should increase to speed up the forum?).

Now, I want to run: ./launcher rebuild app - However, I’m afraid it would change admin settings and or reset the entire discourse install? Would it?

It might be a dumb question, but I never worked with Docker.

Best,  
Dylan

Since the database and all images/attachments are stored outside of the container, it’s **100% safe** to do a `./launcher rebuild app` 😉

Hi @zogstrip, thanks for the quick reply. Running it now and praying none of the styling, settings or category changes get overwritten.
