I am on discourse using docker and the default channel was on tests-passed and I wanted to upgrade to the stable version.

I waited for my version to go older which was `2.4.0.beta` and then I wanted to upgrade to stable `2.5.1` as we see from [Releases · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/releases).

So I used the suggestion from the forum posts where I edited `/var/discourse/containers/app.yml` and have changed the git revision to stable by uncommenting the line and using the line

> version:stable

After that in the discourse folder I ran `./launcher rebuild app` which smoothly ran the upgrade, it asked me to do that step again which I did and I got the upgrade successful message which made me happy.

I came to the admin section of the forum and I was disapointed to see that I am on the beta version. I am currently on `2.6.0.beta2`, now I wonder if this is the “stable” version 😕

By default that `version:` row is preceded by a `#`

Did you remove it before rebuilding?

The `#` comments out the line, if it’s present then it will still use the default for `version:` which is `tests-passed`.

There’s very little benefit to being on `stable`, providing you test releases prior to upgrading your live site it’s probably no bad thing.
