Well, while that would totally be like me, this time it’s not that simple:

```plaintext
# sudo -s
# cd /var/discourse/
# docker stop app
Error response from daemon: No such container: app
# docker rm app
Error: No such container: app

```

I think the problem might be that I moved [everything from the old default location from docker images to the new place](https://meta.discourse.org/t/moving-docker-volumes/256942) and now the discourse docker is not able to access the filesystem it expects?
