I installed Discourse on my Ubuntu server by following these instructions: discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub
The forum is working great! Thanks for all the work that’s gone into making this!
I received an email telling me to update to version 3.3.0.beta4, but on my Update Discourse page I see this:
The first Update button is disabled, and the second one seems to point at a git commit hash, not a specific tagged version, which makes me uncomfortable. What is the recommended way for me to upgrade here?
(Note that I value stability over getting the latest new features. If I had realized what I was doing I would have chosen to install the stable version instead of the beta version, but I just did what the install instructions told me and ended up on the beta version.)
Hit the update button, because you can’t proceed without docker_manager being up to date.
I’m not sure how docker_manager is versioned, tbh, but showing a commit hash would seem completely reasonable.
If you want a “slower” set of updates, you can switch to stable branch in app.yml and wait for the new 3.3.0 stable to be cut (which may be quite soon
) and then rebuild (from the command line)

Thanks for the help!
I get it now. I was confused at first thinking that discourse
and docker_manager
were two alternative ways to update Discourse, and didn’t realize they were completely separate things and that updating docker_manager
was a prerequisite to updating discourse

Here’s what I’ve done:
- I pressed Update on
docker_manager
, bringing it up to date as shown here:
- Since the Update button for updating Discourse was then enabled, I ran that.
And now my forum is up to date 
For now I’ve decided to stay with the default install but may look into switching to stable in future.
