I’d suggest looking into how GitHub - discourse/docker_manager: Plugin for use with discourse docker image · GitHub works. It compares the running version to GitHub, and updates with close to no downtime. Perhaps you can automate that instead of doing a full rebuild each time?

You might check out having separate data and web containers. That way you don’t need to take the site down to build a new image.

Yes, very good point. Thank you!
