Thanks for your replies @marianord and @david!

That does sound more reasonable than using Cloud Run, since extracting all the state from Discourse containers could take some time. Thanks for pointing me to the guide! I’ll try to follow it to set up a Compute instance, and report back here with my findings.

I’m following [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPER-ADVANCED.md](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/DEVELOPER-ADVANCED.md).

The exact error I saw was:

```
== Seed from /workspace/discourse/db/fixtures/990_settings.rb
Discourse hostname: localhost is not a valid domain for emails!

== Seed from /workspace/discourse/db/fixtures/990_topics.rb
rake aborted!
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "polls" does not exist
LINE 8: WHERE a.attrelid = '"polls"'::regclass
                            ^

```

While trying to do:

```
bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate &&
RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate

```

I’ve also experimented with adding this line:

```
RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate

```

but to no avail.

Thanks a lot for the tip! I’ll try that, and report back here as well. (Sorry for asking two questions in one! Hopefully it won’t make the discussion too confusing.)
