Would love to help but this is over my head.

I’d say give it a go without any plugins just to rule that out.

No worries though, I’m pretty sure someone else will step right in and help.

Still having the same error in ./launcher rebuild app
Anyone, please help
I have removed all plugins

What’s with the dollar sign$ at the end of the github repo paths that look like regex “ends” ?

Did you break the yml file when you edited it?

Nothing that is the error during copy from SSH.
By the way, I have removed those all.

I have done everything that I can.
container rebuild stops at --retry 3 --jobs 4
Forum is now showing Error 521 - Web server is down

did you try to go back to the app.yml file you had before? whenever this sort of thing happens to me it tends to be because of a typo in changes I make in that file.

No, I have checked that. I had only added a git clone url to the app.yml that is removed.

ok - but you didn’t then add a stray letter or character elsewhere in the app.yml file? I have made this mistake myself and paid the price. now I always keep a backup of the file just in case. :slight_smile:

Can you send me the content of app.yml file to check it out. I have edited it more than 10 times in past.

Like @tobiaseigen said, if you added or removed a space somewhere, that could be the problem.

It may also be the case that some plugin that used to work is now causing a problem. That flags plugin hasn’t been touched in a year.

If this is an emergency that you would like to throw money at you can pay me to fix it.

That’s a good idea. Another way to do that would be to

cd /var/discourse
cd containers
mv app.yml app-safety.yml
grep DISCOURSE app-safey.yml
cd ..
./discourse setup

I think this all will remove data and install a new discourse :slightly_frowning_face:

No, it won’t.

It does assume that your data is stored in shared/standalone.
