Dear all, I have a Discourse instance setup by the previous admin on our department web server. I don’t know much about Discourse, but it requires updating and suggests doing cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher rebuild app But when I cd into /var/discourse I see only the…

[이미지] ulysses4ever: . The Git repo was inside /var/docker instead of /var/discourse for some reason Aha! That was the recommended place in a time long, long ago (before I started using Discourse 4 years ago). Looks like my “ask the old guy” solution really worked!

You should do a clean install on a new VM, make a backup, and restore it to the new installation. If you don’t like that answer, then you should get whoever set that thing up to come and fix it.

@pfaffman What do you mean by a new VM? A Docker image for Discourse? The issue is I can’t find a manual how to manage Discourse through Docker.

A new VM means a new virtual server, assuming your instance isn’t on dedicated hardware. If you have Discourse running but /var/discourse is empty it’s either a very very old installation or an unsupported package. Either way, you should create a backup, spin up a new virtual server, follow the st…

[이미지] Stephen: it’s either a very very old installation This is indeed most likely what’s going on. It’s running Discourse 2.1.0 (if it makes things clearer). [이미지] Stephen: A new VM means a new virtual server, assuming your instance isn’t on dedicated hardware. That’s the thing: my i…

Now install on a different machine. A VM is preferable as it’s easier to scale up resources. System requirements are in the install doc. Once you have the new install running restore that backup. What kind of instance is this? How busy is it? Is it in constant use?

[이미지] ulysses4ever: It’s running Discourse 2.1.0 Oh my…that’s from late mid 2018. You definitely want to update. Besides missing numerous great features, there have been quite a few, including some critical, security fixes that you do not have.

[이미지] Stephen: Now install on a different machine. Unfortunately, I don’t have a different machine. [이미지] jomaxro: Oh my…that’s from late mid 2018. You definitely want to update. Thank you for the feedback, but that’s not being questioned: I am trying to update. I wasn’t the admin of …

I recommend leaving some documentation just in case: echo "it's in /var/docker" > where-is-launcher

That’s a good idea. Or maybe cd /var/ ln -s /var/docker discourse Though that might confuse launcher.
