First time I have seen the following error when trying to rebuild. 2022-10-04 14:39:49.780 UTC [1700] FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" is empty 2022-10-04 14:39:49.780 UTC [1700] HINT: Either another server is starting, or the lock file is the remnant of a previous server startup crash. I can o…

When is this happening? Is this a standard install ?

Maybe try a ./launcher start app Did this work before? Is it an error or a warning. Did you try opening in your browser? What does docker ps say

Response to ./launcher start app: 57c2a0746e93 Nothing to do, your container has already started! And then in the browser I get 502 Bad Gateway.

docker ps output CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 57c2a0746e93 local_discourse/app "/sbin/boot" 6 months ago Up 16 mi…

That’s odd. I think I might reboot and rebuild again. Or maybe ./launcher stop app; ./launcher rebuild app You’re running an old container, not one that you just built (created 6 months ago). And maybe there were some other errors in the rebuild that you didn’t notice.

There is not enough data here to debug. This is happening cause the build process thinks PG is already running so maybe something about the PG upgrade process is astray. Can you include full logs of launcher (scrubbing out passwords) so we can see what is up.

Maybe it will help to look at a system which is working correctly. I see my lockfile here: # ls -l /var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres_data/postmaster.pid -rw------- 1 systemd-resolve input 92 Nov 15 16:20 /var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres_data/postmaster.pid and Nov 15 is the date I…
