A few places on meta and on the blog advise git pull before ./launcher rebuild app. I’ve never done git pull, only the latter, and my Discourse instance seems to update fine. What’s the value of git pull?

The git pull brings down new versions of the discourse_docker repo, which is the launcher program itself (and all its supporting materials). We do, from time to time, make useful improvements there, although it’s far less frequent (and critical) than updating the application itself.

Also, @sam taught the launcher to update itself in March 2015: https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/commit/098533cb0b2bbea0e55ead77f7bc1b8c668965c0 So you only need to run git pull once if you’re still on an older version, a ./launcher rebuild app will be sufficient after that.

Is this still true @sam ? Even our template reply still says git pull in it..

git pull is needed if you are on an old version of discourse-docker, that is why I always but it in with my instructions. No idea if people are running 3 year old versions of discourse docker.

Hmm I think we should drop it at this point, two lines is more better than three.

Should the install guide tell people to run apt update & apt upgrade first?
