Make sure you have 2GB of swap space per howtos here.

You ran:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

```

A whole bunch of stuff appeared on your screen, towards the end was the actual error.

I need that.

You can run it again if you need.

Phew. It’s fixed this time i ran ./launcher rebuild app. Thanks Sam

A question - Is it recommended to upgrade to a “beta” update? I’ve always seen beta updates on my discourse like “v1.6.0.beta10 +58” . Are these stable or is it recommended to wait for stable versions?
