Latest summary: If you simply want to deploy the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) version, you only need to modify `containers/app.yml`.

```plaintext
# Add the following configuration at the end
params:
  version: esr

```

Then, rebuild the container. If you encounter any errors during the build, it is most likely a network issue, especially for users in China.

If you encounter an Oops error, please refer to this post: [Oops error - Support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/oops/399614/12)
