Rebuilding the application makes forum unresponsive

[Marek_Wojtaszek]

I wanted to change my SMTP server password, so I followed the instruction here to update the variables:

Set Environmental Variables

This is a how-to guide for setting up environmental variables in a self-hosted Discourse installation. Required user level: Administrator Environmental variables play a crucial role in configuring your Discourse instance. They can store sensitive data like API keys and database passwords, making your installation more secure and flexible. In Discourse, environmental variables are set in the app.yml file within your Docker container setup…

After updating the app.yml file I ran the following commands:

@SaraDev

./launcher destroy app
./launcher start app

As soon as I run it-- my forum stops responding to https requests
Same happens when I rebuild the app, but it just takes much longer.

Please advise how I can troubleshoot that. I is pretty urgent as not no emails are being sent out

Thank you so much in advance for your advice!

Stops responding how? Do you get an error? It can take a while for the server to start up, so maybe you’re just not waiting long enough? Can you share your URL?
