Not looking so good. Launcher rebuild app after adding rake command as per instructions:

> ## FAILED
> 
> Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload\_assets failed with return #\<Process::Status: pid 1347 exit 1\>  
> Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec\_command.rb:112:in `spawn’  
> exec failed with the params {“cd”=\>“$home”, “cmd”=\>[“sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload\_assets”]}  
> c0b19d01faa8c6e1f217b209bdd5293c1a1dcd2016f286d17050c299f676256c  
> \*\* FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP \*\* please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.  
> ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.
