Thank you. The command you provided did not work. I resolved it with the following solution from ChatGPT:

To update Docker on a DigitalOcean Droplet, follow these steps:

### 1. **Check the Current Version of Docker**

Run this command to see the currently installed Docker version:

```bash
docker --version

```

### 2. **Update the Operating System**

Make sure the operating system is up-to-date:

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

```

### 3. **Uninstall the Old Version of Docker (if necessary)**

Remove any existing version of Docker:

```bash
sudo apt remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc

```

### 4. **Install the Latest Version of Docker**

Follow these steps to install the latest version:

1. **Add Docker’s Official Repository:**

2. **Install Docker:**

### 5. **Verify the Installed Version**

Check if the new version has been installed:

```bash
docker --version

```

### 6. **Restart Docker Services**

After installation or upgrade, restart the Docker service:

```bash
sudo systemctl restart docker

```

### 7. **Update Discourse**

Once Docker is updated, try updating Discourse again:

```bash
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app

```
