I’ve started an update to `6ebddc4` from `a6dd1a2` and it got stuck at

`Writing /var/www/discourse/public/assets/discourse/templates/user/messages-randomstring.hbs`

It’s been 30+ minutes already, and updates on my server never take so long. What should I do?

load averages are ok at `0.05, 0.17, 0.49`  
Memory: `4046604 total, 581436 free, 2563080 used, 902088 buff/cache`  
Swap: `0 total, 0 free, 0 used. 612656 avail Mem`  
Disk has some 39 Gb free

I’m on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS at DigitalOcean

Apparently, in the very beginning of the update log there is a warning:  
`Warning: the running version of Bundler (1.14.4) is older than the version that created the lockfile (1.14.6). We suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Bundler by running gem install bundler` - but I didn’t notice it at first since the update proceeded without interruption.

Thank you!

p.s. prior to that I’ve updated docker manager to `97c3b03` - the update has stuck once (it has been cleaning temp files and then got `killed`) - I’ve restarted it, and it succeeded. Docker\_manager is now ‘Up to date’. Could it have somehow affected the Discourse update process?
