Hi. I’m searching for a solution that don’t make me rebuild my Discourse when I install a new plugin, which cause a long downtime. On some forum scripts (like PHPBB, FluxBB, etc…), we can install a plugin without causing a downtime. I’m also looking for a solution to set a message when the users …

Thanks, I will follow your solution.

A more advanced version can include a load balancer in front of the application container(s) to reduce downtime to a bare minimum right?

Yes, I’ve experimented with having HAproxy in front of two containers, so it should be possible to leave the old server running, crank up the new one, shut down the old one with no downtime. I’ve not yet gotten it working correctly, however.

Can you tell me what kind of issues you had?

I’ll need to crank it up again and document it. It’ll take a while to figure it out again. :frowning:

You can also sv restart unicorn Inside the container, which is a tiny bit faster than restarting the container. Also, for Some plugins you’d need to migrate the database.
