Is it the same process to update Discourse via the browser, or via Terminal using the ./launcher rebuild app? If so, any advantages of one over the other, other than being able to update plugins individually? I’m no expert in this, so I’m sorry if I’m saying something that doesn’t make sense. I’m…

[이미지] merefield: You can find resources on here to configure a “we’re offline, come back later screen” I saw that a few days ago, but it was indeed very complex for me. I just posted the errors I’m seeing when trying to update now. It crashed again. It’s on my previous reply.

So after it crashed , I clicked the button to restart updating and it’s stuck on this again, which is what happened last night: [image] Here’s what I noticed, but don’t know if it’s a coincidence: when it gets stuck on that state where nothing happens, I click Reset Update.

If it’s less than 2GB, I would recommended creating a swapfile. Mine is 1GB so I definitely needed one. From my understanding, swap basically takes some storage and converts it to use as more memory.

Then ./discourse-setup should have created a swap automatically. I’m not well versed in the arcanes of system administration so I’ll let others tell more about this. That said, even with more than the requirements, users have come across this issue, so there’s something fishy. As for the update fr…
