Did You install it Yourself or did someone install it to You? In case You installed Yourself, the easiest way to upgrade is to SSH into Your server that is hosting discourse and run the following set of commands: ```plaintext cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher rebuild app ``` Otherwise, contact the person who did the installation part as they may be able to help You. ---

You should be able to do that. You would need to stop the instance first, amend the storage and then reboot. That’s a little off topic for Discourse Meta though and you should refer to Amazon’s EC2 documentation. If you need more help I’d recommend posting for a freelancer experienced with EC2 in #Marketplace ---
