[image] everytime I go to update my friend @techwithanirudh forum I can update everything but discourse or discourse related features idk why this is it leads to things such as super outdated forum and annoyance Can I get an explaintion

That’s correct. Just run the Docker_manager first. It takes about 5 minutes on my server. After than, you can update Discourse, update plugins, or choose “Update All”.

Adubs I don’t have access to the code of the forum and Keegan I’ll try the manager and let you know

Ok @keegan that seems to have worked it now works but why cant I just update it all at once?

You can if you use launcher. I would request access to SSH.

Because docker manager is the one that updates discourse

IIRC it’s because the newer version of Discourse needs Docker Manager to first be upgraded. Think of it like a dependency thing.

that makes more sense nate adubs could you clarify?

I believe a rebuild via the CLI with ./launcher rebuild app would pull the latest versions of everything from Github automatically, whereas you have to do so manually via the UI.

i think @ice.d has a good point though that it is cumbersome to have to update twice when docker_manager needs an update. You have to first to update docker_manager and then wait for that to complete and then update Discourse (or Update all) to update Discourse and any plugins. Updating docker_mana…

[Bild] Adubs: I’m not certain what you’re asking for here but my preferred method to update is to use launcher in /var/discourse I used to do that, but then I realized that if you update using the website, there is much less downtime.

[Bild] j127: if you update using the website, there is much less downtime That’s true, if the update succeeds. But if it fails, and it sometimes will, then you have a non-working forum until you can get to the commandline to fix things. So, if uptime matters to you, you will always be ready…
