I’m trying to do the current upgrade. It has failed and I can’t access my discourse.
There’s multiple errors. All help appreciated.

Is this a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)? Is it just one `app.yml` file (and not separate web\_only and data containers?)
For some reason it’s unable to connect to your databases.

[Standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true). Just one app.yml.

Maybe upgrade docker. What is
```
docker --version
```

Discourse asked me to do a Docker upgrade first. I did.
I can’t check the version now because I had to revert the server to put it back in production, so all changes have been undone.

Then you have no way to debug.
What I would likely recommend is to spin up a new VM, install Discourse there, and restore a backup. When it works, put the existing site in read-only mode, backup, restore, and switch the DNS (or a static IP if you have access to such).
You can use [Move a Discourse site to another VPS with rsync](https://meta.discourse.org/t/move-a-discourse-site-to-another-vps-with-rsync/43812) so that the new site has valid certs and you can have a look by hacking your local DNS to point to the new IP address.
