Failed to update Discourse new version

Hi guys, I’m new to building a community with Discourse and was told to update the latest Discourse version in SSH. I’ve checked and followed the instruction at Manually update Discourse and Docker image to latest.

But when I execute

cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

it says my container/.yml doesn’t exist

Any suggestions will be appreciate!

Hi @William_Gary :slight_smile:

Did you follow the standard install or some other method to create your Discourse instance? There’s a chance your app.yml is called something else (eg. if you have a two-container set-up).

Hi @JammyDodger
Yeah, I did follow the standard install.
when I do

docker version

It says this and it looks like somehow I got two containers.


Is there a way to get rid of one of them?

You need to run as user root.

Do a

sudo su -

Before the cd command

@pfaffman Yeah, you’re right, and thank you so much, Jay!
