I guess the discourse team will take it from here.
On the other note, always keep a backup.
Do try upgrading manually as well – SSH to your server and in the discourse directory
use these commands to manually upgrade
`git pull`
and
`./launcher rebuild app`

One of your plugins is bust, recommend removing all 3rd party plugins and trying again.

I posted it in the wrong topic lol.
@sam The upgrade is finished successfully and it was indeed that plugin. I will stay without plugins for now, just to have a piece of mind. So thanks a lot!!
I wanted to ask you a question. Before the upgrade, I used the AWS AMI to backup the server. I created a new server with that AMI and when I tried to access the website, it didn’t load, any idea why.
Can I count on the BACKUP procedure so in case the server is crashed for some reason, I can create a new server from scratch, install discourse and use the BACKUP and restore everything back to the previous state?
Thanks in advance.

Yes.
Before updating you can backup and then download the backup locally. If the server catches fire starting over in another is easy.
