This also happened to me. I think it _might_ be related to our backup issue (cc. @sam)

I also tried upgrading today, halted at `rake multisite:migrate` line and currently logged in for rebuild…
**Nggh**. There’s a lot of problems:
```
Launcher is up-to-date
Stopping old container
+ /usr/bin/docker stop -t 10 app
app
cd /pups && git pull && /pups/bin/pups --stdin
/usr/bin/docker: Failed to create the container ID file: open cids/app_bootstrap.cid: permission denied.
See '/usr/bin/docker run --help'.
cat: cids/app_bootstrap.cid: No such file or directory
"docker rm" requires at least 1 argument(s).
See 'docker rm --help'.
Usage: docker rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Remove one or more containers
rm: cannot remove ‘cids/app_bootstrap.cid’: No such file or directory
**FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one
```
What to do?

Did you change the permissions on the `cids` folder by any chances?

Hmm. Maybe I should’ve done this with `sudo`?
Edit: ok, that seems to be doing the trick. Yeah, sorry, I forgot the ssh **root** @domain part… ☹

You should be root to use the `./launcher`.

`sudo` is enough instead of root, right? Or should I just login as root?
Edit: went `sudo su` and continued 😛

Seconded. The upgrade failed for me as well. It took a rebuild to get things working again.
@zogstrip: Take this as a headsup. This failed with the update of today: “v1.7.0.beta7 +1”

Did you upgrade using the web browser or via ssh?
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
```
