The discussion revolves around the increasing time it takes for Discourse updates. fuse notes that updates are taking significantly longer (45+ minutes) compared to the past (<5 minutes), with a 2x penalty on rebuild. itsbhanusharma points to a meta discussion thread explaining the slowdown due to recent changes. fuse experiences site downtime but manages to recover through an app rebuild. However, their issues persist, with the UI showing components “still upgrading” in the admin console. fuse seeks help to resolve the stuck UI status, running Discourse version 2.9.0.beta4.
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I searched and did not see a similar topic.
Are discourse updated taking exponentially longer recently than in the past?
I run a standalone instance in AWS Lightsail, and most updates felt like they took <5 minutes.
Now it seems like updates are taking 45+ minutes, and some of it appears to be duplicate work.
The gating update seems to be docker manager, and then when you update the remaining components, a 2x penalty seems to be incurred on rebuild.
I have a huge amount of respect for the developers in this community, and wish I had a suggestion for improvement beyond “something seems wrong/duplicate/out of sequence”.
