I am self-hosting Discourse on Digital Ocean and I received an upgrade notice. When I try to use the web option, it says I have to log in via SSH and run the upgrade command. But when I log in using SSH, it always wants to run the configuration script that I already did when I first installed. How do I bypass or disable this so I can get to the command prompt? thanjs

Press CTRL + C, that will get you out of that prompt
Then you can navigate to `/var/discourse` and upgrade Discourse using
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
```
