Hello Everyone,  
I haven’t updated the site in a while and then it just stopped loading – [community.showprowess.com](http://community.showprowess.com)

I tried to rebuild but failed with the following message at the very bottom -

```plaintext
FAILED
--------------------
Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile:build' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 666 exit 1>
Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/pups-1.2.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:132:in `spawn'
exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "tag"=>"build", "hook"=>"assets_precompile_build", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile:build'"]}
bootstrap failed with exit code 1
**FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.
./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

```

I am using SSH. Has someone faced this same issue before? Should I just rebuild in a new droplet as mentioned in some threads?

Would be great if someone can look at it.

Attaching the whole log in case it helps.
