Does discourse support gifs? Is there anyway to have a GIF as a profile picture?
Yep, it’s supported. Go to your admin control panel -> Settings tab -> Files section, and then look for the “allow animated avatars” checkbox.

after doing that, do we need to ./launcher rebuild app ?
From the settings page:
WARNING: run the avatars:refresh rake task after changing this setting.

or would it be
./launcher enter app ?

I’m not really an expert either. I googled “discourse rake task” and got this discussion, in which @zogstrip says this is how to run a rake task:
# ssh into server
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake uploads:migrate_to_new_pattern
I presume that you would simply change that last line to rake avatars:refresh.
