As a new self-hosted Discourse user, I’m still trying to figure out how things work, so please bear with me…
When it comes to updating, I noticed today that when the Docker_manager
has an update, I can’t update anything else such as Discourse
and the plugins. It took me a while to understand that I had to click Update
in the Docker_manager
row to then have the Update All
button as well as the individual Update
buttons for the plugins unlocked. Is this the normal behavior, and why?
(I also thought that “Processes” was the progress of the update… I could sit and wait forever ).
When you update, is there any “best practices”, such as updating the components, first, then the plugins, then Discourse
? I’m trying to avoid as many potential errors as possible.
Thank you.
Suggestion to the team: when we click the “Update” button, instead of just sending us to the update page, it should also start updating right away. I clicked the Update button in the Docker_manager
and I was just sitting there waiting for the progress bar to show, until I realized I had to click Start Updating
. Seems counterintuitive to click some Update
button twice.
