I host the forum through Digital Ocean, and it’s been ~1 year since I’ve rebuilt the instance through the terminal.
./launcher rebuild app
I was originally following the steps here (Install plugins on a self-hosted site) to add a plugin, and the rebuild instance failed. I would see this error message after restarting:
" The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem"
I restored the forum using a back-up, and as a sanity check without modifying any code (i.e. app.yml file), I went through the rebuild app sequence again. Even then, the rebuild and start sequence would lead to the same error message above.
Thoughts on next troubleshooting steps?
