What is Discourse?
The project is fully open source on Github, plus you can join the meta Discourse forum to ask questions.
How do I update the forum to the latest release?
- Join Unicorn for SSH access
- Check most recent backups under /var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default/
- If needed, create a backup with these instructions.
$ cd /var/discourse $ ls /var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default/ # ./containers rebuild redis # ./containers rebuild mail-receiver # ./containers rebuild data # ./containers rebuild app
The forum should be back online and happy! If you run into trouble you can ask https://meta.discourse.org for assistance.
