Since 3.2.1 I get 500 Errors on every action

Installation

With 3.2.3 I get this (when I try to post a topic, edit one, approve posts, etc.)

2024-07-06T00:39:23.066901838Z NoMethodError (undefined method `trusted_users_can_edit_others?’ for SiteSetting:Class)

I also get this:

I use the Bitnami 3.2.3 Discourse installation on CapRover.
I don’t have any plugins, but I have the RO locale enabled.

I tried all images (3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3.3), but still the same error. Everything else seems to work ok, and it worked fine before the 3.2 update.

Here’s the entire stack trace if needed:

Then you can ask them for support. If you want help here you need to do a standard install.

I checked it initially, and the installation guide seemed very long (so I chose the available 1-click install available on CapRover).

Is there an easy way to replace the Bitnami installation with the standard one? (while keeping the current db/posts/users) ?

You should be able to make a backup and restore it to the new server. Dashboard.literatecomputing.com will do an automated standard install. You can join the free trial group and use for free, with very limited free support for the installation process

Unfortunately the Standard Install doesn’t work for me, as it requires Docker to be available within the Discourse image. I already use Coolify now to manage my containers, so if I copy the git repo inside that container, I would have to install Docker within a Docker container for it to work.

I will try to make it work using https://hub.docker.com/r/discourse/base, but that requires the Launcher, which means I can’t completely install Discourse in an isolated Docker container, without doing Docker-ception…

EDIT: I also tried to use this, discourse_docker/image/base/Dockerfile at master · discourse/discourse_docker · GitHub, but it doesn’t work either (plus the file seems old/unmaintained).

Reverting to Docker image bitnami/discourse:3.0.6 fixes the 500 Errors, and I can create posts again. I will stay on this version for a while, and try again when a new one is released.

I hope that Discourse will soon provide a usable Docker image, that can be simply installed, without using other scripts or tools.
