I just tried upgrading via the web UI. The first part went ok, but the second step (update Discourse version) got part way through, then said there was an error, and the forum no longer works at all (just the ‘Oops’ page).

Logging into ssh (to manually run `./launcher rebuild app`), I get

```
ERROR: Docker version 18.06.3-ce not supported, please upgrade to at least 20.10.0, or recommended 24.0.7

```

Putting aside the possible solutions to that problem (which are beyond my level of comfort/competence), I’m wondering if this is as intended? I had the vague understanding the UI should be idiot proof, and that one would have to ssh to do the dangerous stuff, so I was comfortable trying without first making sure my IT-whizz would be available as backup.
