Update broken stuck on Docker version

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).
