I’ve finally found a moment to breathe between my various other projects, which means I’ve a few idle cycles to think about our Discourse environments and how, when or if we should approach the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS upgrade. Ubuntu 14.04 is supported through until late 2019, so there’s no huge rush to a…

I did an upgrade on two droplets on DO for a client. I had a bit of an issue with Docker that I had to reinstall on one droplet (I didn’t do the install and I had trouble with Docker on this droplet before that) but other than that, it went well on both. No trouble with the database or anything else…

I upgraded from 14.04->16.04 on a DO droplet. All went well except I had to add the new repository for Xenial for Docker and update it. Did a restart app as @Steven said and I was up and running again. All your third party apt repositoires will be disabled when you upgrade as you need to point th…

On my Windows 10 localhost set-up I installed VMware Player. I created a VM using the ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso image. I then installed Discourse following discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub but skipping the “cloud server” stuff. The “Discourse Advanced De…

The only minor issue I’ve had on 16.04 (clean or upgraded) is that when I reboot the droplet (only on droplets who have a swap), the forum takes ~5 minutes to come back instead of 1 min on 14.04. It’s more a Ubuntu issue tho.

Is it necessary to upgrade to 16.04 LTS or i could stay with v14.04 itself?

I was debating upgrading my 14.04 install, but was’t sure if I should. However, when I updated docker, it broke my discourse setup. I attempted to upgrade using the script from the notes How do I manually update Discourse and Docker image to latest? wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh Error! /…

Yep, my standard practice now for any OS dot release is an in-place upgrade, for anything more I just move backups to a new server, copy the yml files over and reinstall. It’s very quick, and almost completely painless.

[Bild] Stephen: I just move backups to a new server, copy the yml files over and reinstall. Are you hosting on Digital Ocean or elsewhere? What process do you follow when you migrate to a new server? It seemed like a lot more hoops to jump through with Digital Ocean in having to spin up a ne…

Sure, that’s exactly what you do, just re-run the 30 minute install, which thee days takes me 10 minutes or less, copy over your yml, repoint DNS and restore the backup. We’re talking about an operation you do once every couple of years at best, if you’re trying to minimise risk of an OS upgrade ho…
