Hi
I am trying to upgrade my discourse forum from 1.6.0.Beta10+9 to 2.3.0.beta6, using the “Click Here to Upgrade” option, inside the Admin panel
See this screen shot: [https://www.intecons.com/AMB%2067.png](https://www.intecons.com/AMB%2067.png)
However, after doing some stuff for a while, it just hangs up at “Building Assets”, see this screen shot: [https://www.intecons.com/AMB%2066.png](https://www.intecons.com/AMB%2066.png)
I am not a NGINX expert, just Apache
That’s why I am not trying to upgrade it using terminal window, but I have no idea now where to go from here
Any helps will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Ashwani

The error is probably happening before, we can’t see it in your screenshot.

So your error is:
```plaintext
Sass::SyntaxError: Invalid CSS after "...le:none}:root{-": expected number or function, was "-blue:#007bff;-..."
```
Not sure it’s coming from Discourse, might be a plugin.

If you’re updating from 1.6 you’ll have to do a rebuild from the command line.

```
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app
./launcher rebuild app
```
You will not lose your data. I believe that you’ll need to rebuild twice because the first one will upgrade the database.
For $300 or year I’ll do command line upgrades when they are required. [Redirecting…](https://www.literatecomputing.com/automatic-rebuilds-when-they-are-needed/)

Small addition. If you had an error through the admin interface, you will have a high probability of error through the console. In order not to risk it can be immediately disable all third-party plugins and make a rebuild.

Hi Jay
I get this
ERROR: Docker version 1.8.2 not supported, please upgrade to at least 17.03.1, or recommended 17.06.2
When I try to upgrade via console
Any help?
You think you can take it further from here?
Here is the full log of what it shows: [https://www.intecons.com/result%20of%20upgrade%20through%20terminal.txt](https://www.intecons.com/result%20of%20upgrade%20through%20terminal.txt)

How was this installed originally? What version of Ubuntu is this?
Assuming you have updated everything in apt and are running 16.+ then docker can usually be taken care of with:
```
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh
```

If docker was installed from an old Ubuntu version it is best to
```
apt purge docker.io
```
(or widget docker it is) first. You can see what it is with
```
dpkg -l |grep docker
```
