I have a self-hosted installation with working plugins, but Discourse keeps updating automatically without permission, and just recently the forum broke because a plugin was no longer compatible. Since my use case is already defined and I don’t actually need the new Discourse features, how do I dis…

[изображение] Willy: Discourse keeps updating automatically without permission Discourse doesn’t update automatically. We don’t even have an automatic update feature. Someone may be updating your forum? Or did you add a manual background job to do it on the host server?

That’s mind-blowing because I don’t have any plugins that perform automatic updates, and I can’t see anything in the app.yml file, but you already said that Discourse doesn’t have that feature. Is there any method to retrieve the exact moment (date and time) when Discourse was last updated?

[изображение] Willy: Is there any method to retrieve the exact moment (date and time) when Discourse was last updated? The date can be found at the bottom of /admin (if you’re on the old page). Should see it like: [CleanShot 2026-06-25 at 15.46.23] Maybe it’s somewhere else more detailed …

Have you considered switching to the ESR release instead of pinning a specific version? Then you would still receive the security fixes but only have to deal with other changes every 6 months. [изображение] Configure a supported tracking branch to get Discourse software upda…

That’s a start, but I’ll still wait for someone who can explain how to stay on a specific version.

I am not sure what exactly you are waiting for. The topic I linked already explains how to configure the version you want to install. [изображение] Configure a supported tracking branch to get Discourse software updates Follow these steps to configure the desired branch in your Discourse instanc…

But those are revisions, basically, which branch I want to use. I’m saying to fix it at a version like 2026.6.0 and never update from that version. What you’re proposing keeps changing between versions, just on a different branch.
