Hello, is it normal for the site to be offline when installing/updating themes and plugins?

It is normal for the site to be offline when you do a rebuild. Solutions are to use a two-container install, which lets you build a new container, so the downtime is less than a minute, or to contrive to have a “we’ll be right back” page display while the site is down, which doesn’t change down tim…

Just to add, unlike plugins, installing or updating themes and theme components wouldn’t need any offline time. :+1:

Is there any documentation about the method you mentioned? Also, it seems ironic considering that it is very suitable for SEO in terms of discourse, but there is an interruption during loading and Google bots cannot crawl the site.

How many times do you expect to install a new plugin? This is usually a very rare occurrence. You can update plugins online with tiny interruption to service as containers swap over.

Thank you for the replies. :saluting_face:

There is a new template a few month in discourse/templates called offline-page.template.yml and inside it it trigger the GitHub - discourse/discourse-offline-page: offline page for discourse · GitHub .…

Seems like that’d only hit half of it? It’d show up when starting, but not rebuilding, if I understand rebuilds right: Add a template to pull and serve static HTML files from GitHub - discourse/discourse-offline-page: offline page for discourse · GitHub when nginx is available, but rails is not. …

But a step in the right direction, thanks @Don (and @featheredtoast ! ) Yeah @Firepup650 I wondered why I hadn’t seen it, and I believe you’ve answered why! Got some good :male_detective: :male_detective: in here! :slight_smile: I wonder if this is a pre-step to a permanent standard two container…

You caught me - there is some ongoing movement to making serving offline pages more widely possible - the commits and repos mentioned are groundwork for it to be available, but it isn’t (yet) in place now.
