I have error when upgrade latest discourse

Product Support

AI-generated summary

A user is experiencing an error during a Discourse upgrade, with a bootstrap failure related to asset precompilation. The error message indicates a failure in the themes:update rake task, but the user cannot see earlier logs. Other users suggest checking for memory issues and note that the extension update message is likely harmless. The user acknowledges the advice and plans to monitor RAM usage in future updates. cmdntd initially reports the error, merefield points out the upgrade steps, pfaffman suggests memory issues, and Jonathan5 confirms the extension message is not critical.

I have error when upgrade latest discourse:

Checking for extension updates                              notice

Your installation contains extensions that should be updated
with the ALTER EXTENSION command.  The file
    update_extensions.sql
when executed by psql by the database superuser will update
these extensions.


Upgrade Complete
----------------
Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade.
Once you start the new server, consider running:
    /usr/lib/postgresql/15/bin/vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages

Running this script will delete the old cluster's data files:
    ./delete_old_cluster.sh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE OF POSTGRES COMPLETE

Old 13 database is stored at /shared/postgres_data_old

To complete the upgrade, rebuild again using:

./launcher rebuild app

I run doctor again, and it seems ok.
But I’m not sure about this issue.

Can you scroll up and look for earlier error messages, and paste them here?

6

My guess is that you’re out of me m memory? Have you tried to run the rebuild again?

How much ram and swap do you have (free -h)

7

It runs ok, so I can not see them any more.

Thanks. I will pay attention to ram at next version updates.

I saw this too (though my upgrade went all right otherwise). I guess it’s nothing to worry about – is that right?
