Hi there, First post so hello :slight_smile: I am trying to install Discourse on a Digital Ocean Droplet all goes well, except I need to run a script that only works with v1.7.2 (long story just trust me!) Tried everything I can think of to get Docker to do a clean install of v1.7.2 - does anyone…

In app.yml where it says “tests-passed” you can put the the Git ID of the version you want. So I think you want version: 839a5e6e427bdffb87596f8fbe51c37796e40da3 version is in the file, but commented out.

Thanks! I searched and found that solution earlier (it works using ‘v1.7.2’) but it seems to be only be able to do that as a rebuild the .yml file doesn’t exist until after the newest version has been installed. These are the instructions I followed: discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · disc…

You can create app.yml manually (there is a template in /var/discourse/samples/standalone.yml) – but if you already bootstrapped and want to downgrade, this is easy as long as you are willing to lose your data. Simply update app.yml, then run this: cd /var/discourse/ ./launcher stop app rm -rf shar…

You can cp samples/standalone.yml containers and edit it by hand, or use ./discourse-setup and hit a control C after it’s through configuring. There’s an undocumented 5 second pause before it starts the build, for just that purpose.

Brillaint, this is the magic dust I was looking for and couldn’t find :smiley: I am already rebuilding and know it’s working as I’ve seen all the database commands run again - so have a lot of confidence I am going to end up with a 1.7.2 and corresponding database! We will see, I will let you know…

I defintiely want to lose the data, everything needs to go so it’s a complete fresh install…
