Unable to upgrade docker_manager

AI-generated summary

User debryc reported an issue upgrading docker_manager via the admin interface, where the upgrade page hangs indefinitely without progress. pfaffman suggested performing a command-line rebuild as a workaround. Ed_S recommended refreshing the upgrade view manually or checking the Processes view for signs of activity, as the browser may not auto-refresh correctly. Azeez provided a direct terminal command to rebuild the app: cd /var/discourse && ./launcher rebuild app, which often resolves such issues. Ultimately, debryc confirmed success by following a guide from meta.discourse.org on manually updating Discourse and Docker, indicating that the issue was resolved outside the GUI. This thread highlights common troubleshooting steps for Docker-based Discourse upgrades, emphasizing command-line solutions when the web interface fails to progress.

I attempted to update docker_manager admin/upgrade

However, on the Upgrade docker_manager page, nothing happens. Instead the screen stays like the screenshot below indefinitely.

The solution is to do a command line rebuild.

Sometimes it’s worth refreshing that view of the progress - the browser doesn’t always auto-refresh in the intended way.

It can be useful also to look at the Processes view - that will give some hints as to whether things are moving forward or not.

I believe all you need to do is rebuild the application. You can run the below command on your terminal. I think it should do the trick

cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app

Thank you!

Manually update Discourse and Docker image to latest did the trick.
