Discourse is not starting. The logs for the container show:

```plaintext
ok: run: redis: (pid 47) 791s
ok: run: postgres: (pid 44) 791s
supervisor pid: 4051 unicorn pid: 4056
./config/unicorn_launcher: line 71: kill: (4056) - No such process
./config/unicorn_launcher: line 15: kill: (4056) - No such process
(4051) exiting
ok: run: redis: (pid 47) 793s
ok: run: postgres: (pid 44) 793s
supervisor pid: 4065 unicorn pid: 407

```

I tried to go to /var/discourse and do a ./launcher rebuild app and it shows this on loop:

```plaintext
Ensuring launcher is up to date
Updating Launcher...
Updating 721facb..34dd695
error: your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: templates/postgres.template.yml
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting
failed to update

```

Why did this happen and how can I fix this?
