I just ran an update and got the following error. Then when I refreshed the page to run it again it showed that the update had already been applied. Any thoughts?

General solution to this error is adding swap, in some cases you may need a bigger swap

Do you have enough ram and swap? free -m

@SkritterJosh ME TOO!! 2gb droplet - way more than enough. I just saw the update and tried it. [image] 100% same err. Def have enough mem.

Thanks. I just did that. Is it safe to assume that the upgrade went well, then? Or how do I double-check?

There is the version on /admin, and the version hash on the page source (CTRL+U) that you can check.

@avorio I’m not sure if it’s safe to assume that. I also experienced the same thing where the upgrade failed, but then later it said everything was up to date. I went ahead and manually updated both docker and discourse. It did appear they still had updates perform and the dashboard was producing a …

Hi @SkritterJosh ! Thanks for that. How do I manually update both docker and discourse, please?
