Hi,

I’m having the same problem as [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/launcher-rebuild-failing-at-bundle-exec-rake-themes-update-assets-precompile/173377), but the solution there was to run postgres and redis on separate containers, but I don’t want to do that (yet).

[This comment](https://meta.discourse.org/t/launcher-rebuild-failing-at-bundle-exec-rake-themes-update-assets-precompile/173377/6) from @Falco uggests that I might have manually changed the permissions of `/var/discourse/shared/standalone/redis_data/dump.rdb`, but I just checked, and the permissions are as expected:

```plaintext
root@ip-10-0-0-28:/var/discourse/shared/web-only/redis_data# ls -n
total 696
-rw-r--r-- 1 106 110 709017 Aug 19 09:05 dump.rdb

```

Does anyone know why this rebuild is failing?

Thanks.

Weirdly resolved by moving “templates/redis.template.yml” from the bottom of to the top.

I have no idea why.
