Hello, this is my first topic! I am Nelly Eggsy, and I am building a website using Ghost and Discourse.
I usually lurk the forums and read topics in the shadows. If I’m stuck, I search the forums for an answer, and that usually works. However, I am stuck and need help.
After upgrading Discourse via the admin UI, I encounter a message:
You are running an old version of the Discourse image.
Upgrades via the web UI are disabled until you run the latest image.
To do so, log in to your server using SSH and run:
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
I followed the guide on how to upgrade Discourse and Docker image to the latest version using console commands. However, I am unable to successfully upgraded due to an error.
Here is the error message I get when I run the ./launcher rebuild app command.

My Digital Ocean droplet has 2 GB Memory / 50 GB Disk + 50 GB / SFO2 - Discourse on Ubuntu 20.04.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post! I look forward to reading your message.
Here is the output. I trimmed a lot of it, so the forum allows me to post it.

Thanks! That seems to do the trick, sort of. When I visit the forum’s homepage, it takes me to the “Congratulations, you installed Discourse!” page. Here are my questions:
Do I re-install the forum? Will my existing content remain, or did everything get deleted?
It sounds like everything got deleted, but it’s likely still there. Was this your first update in a while? Did your postgres get updated? My best guess is hat something went wrong in the postgres update and you need to rename postgres_old and start over again. There are some details in PostgreSQL 13 update.
Jay, I (just) remember I had attempted to move the uploads and backups to DigitalOcean Block Storage. Moments ago, I attempted to do it again and received the “Oops” error message while visiting the homepage:
Oops
The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

No further action is necessary. However, if the error condition persists, you can provide additional detail, including steps to reproduce the error, by posting a discussion topic in the site’s feedback category.
