> Hi all, My site is suddenly in ‘read only’ mode, and I don’t know why. [chathamhouse.sandbaggernews.com](http://chathamhouse.sandbaggernews.com) A friend helped me set up Discourse, but unfortunately he’s left town for a Linux conference in Seattle stuck_out_tongue I’m trying to present this site to my professors tomorrow night. Really don’t know where to begin. Thanks so much, Stuck.
(Please note the post is quite old, but your installation is running an old version, so this might be relavant,)

I suggest updating your Docker version. If not possible you can skip the version check with —skip-prereqs

Old site running again, have to figure out now why the API was not creating user accounts now after the update…
