William_Gary encountered an issue while trying to update Discourse to the latest version via SSH, receiving an error that container/.yml doesn’t exist William_Gary. JammyDodger asked if the standard install was followed, noting that the config file might have a different name, especially in multi-container setups JammyDodger. William_Gary confirmed using the standard install and shared that docker version revealed two containers, asking if one could be removed William_Gary. pfaffman advised running the commands as root using sudo su - before navigating to /var/discourse pfaffman. William_Gary confirmed this resolved the issue and thanked pfaffman William_Gary. The root cause was likely insufficient permissions preventing access to the required configuration file.
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!
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.
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!
