A thread of Linux stuff I should remember but have to keep looking up

Configure Discourse Forum to Alert of Stable Updates Only

Not necessarily a Linux thing, but I look after a few Discourse forums and this post on the official Discourse community is a handy tip for making a Discourse install only tell you about updates if they’re in the “stable” branch, not the beta ones (which Discourse say are fine and tested, but then why call them beta???).

  • Stop the forum (i.e: stop the docker containers)
  • Uncomment the line in app.yml #version: test-passed
  • Change it from test-passed to stable
  • Then rebuild the instance:
git pull
launcher rebuild app

Done.
