Hi Guys,

I was updating my Discourse today and ended up with an unsuable admin. Here is what happened:

I updated via the admin notification, I updated docker first without any issues.  
Then when I tried to update Discourse, I got and error which sadly I didn’t copy.

I was then able to access my discourse homepage so I though the update just didn’t happen and everything was kept the same. But now I noticed my admin menu doesn’t work and I can’t access any /admin/ urls.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this?

Thanks!
