I noticed that the task rake assets:precompile requires a database connection: this means that the task can only be run at “run time” (after deployment) as opposed to “build time” (while building the container image). Since the task is very expensive in terms of running time, this can be annoying. N…

[Bild] matpen: if some parts of the task indeed require the database connection We store the themes in the database (they are edited in the admin UI) so the CSS is inside PostgreSQL so you need the database connection at build time to be able to precompile those.

We did discuss the idea of a switch that would disable the whole Customization UI, allowing the CSS files to be compiled in build time and uploaded to object storage during build (aka the same as the JS core / plugins). However, that is a very niche case, that would only appeal to enterprise-y depl…

Good to know that the idea has already been discussed. I do understand that the amount of work for the change is probably too large to be justifiable. In my case, discourse will be associated to a pre-existing website, so there will be a fixed custom theme to match the one of the website: it would …

Oh I meant the use case for you to not be able to connect to the database on “build time”.

Oh: well, when I build the image, I work on my development laptop. The image is then pushed to a repository, and the final system (VPS on DigitalOcean) pulls it from there. The database sits in a volume on the VPS, so it cannot be updated on my laptop: this would require me to stop discourse, rsync…

So you are running the database and the application all inside one droplet? In that case sticking with our official install guide , which results in a droplet with application and database in the same droplet will give you a fully functional site, that can be updated from the web interface and optio…

[Bild] Falco: So you are running the database and the application all inside one droplet? If by this you mean “directly on the host”, then no. They are running in a container, specifically a podman container. Ideally, I would split the container into multiple ones (one for discourse, one for …

[Bild] matpen: If by this you mean “directly on the host”, then no. They are running in a container, specifically a podman container. Ideally, I would split the container into multiple ones (one for discourse, one for postgres, one for redis…) but this connects with the issue that we are discuss…

Hehe, thank you for the idea, but that starts to be complicated. Furthermore, it wont solve the problem, because we still have to stop discourse and wait for the bootstrap process, or there might be inconsistent data. Seems like we will need to live with a long downtime (5-6 minutes for migration a…
