Update broken stuck on Docker version

Support

Hello,
I wanted to update my discourse yesterday and I failed. I had warning error on Docker version 24.0.2 deprecated.
I tried to sort that with the following topic but no change.

So here’s my log when I wanted to do a rebuild:

My site is on a Digital Ocean’s droplet

  • Docker version 24.0.2, build cb74dfc
  • No LSB modules are available.
  • Distributor ID: Ubuntu
  • Description: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
  • Release: 18.04
  • Codename: bionic

So, can you please provide me a way to fix that and to set my site online again ? I’m not very skilled in linux but can understand procedures. Thank you

Can you share your app.yml file? Looks like you pinned a container image in there.

You should be able to start up your old container with

 ./launcher start app

That will get you back up.

It’s beyond end of life by almost two years. I recommend that you spin up a new virtual machine and Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync.

I don’t recommend it, but several people have reported success lately running a dist-upgrade.

If the rsync seems too complicated, just copy over your app.yml and a backup. Do a rebuild, and restore the backup. You will need to find a way to move the app.yml and the backup file from the old server to the new one.

If and OS upgrade or move to a new VM is more than you want to take on and you’d like paid support, you’re welcome to email me (address is on my user card).

What is that?

And you just put your passwords public.

You still need to move to an up-to-date OS to have a supported version of docker. You will not be able to upgrade (easily?) without upgrading your OS so that you have a supported docker.

You need to remove that from your app.yml.

There is a chance that if you remove that line from your app.yml, but it’s at least as likely that it’ll make your site unusable. I’d definitely make a backup before you do anything else.

My bad sorry

OK so I need to update the OS first

I flagged it, but it was visible ~15 mins. So you would like to change both.

BTW, when you get further your MaxMind won’t work. You need your account number too. And both of those lines need two spaces before them.

Remove this line and rebuild.
