Made a mirror backup to Juno.
Made a backup AMI:
Scanalyst Backup 2023-08-10 ami-022120c0a785ceb67
/ snap-0c327639f2208409d
/server snap-049e43b1c5f17f82a
The system had been up for 12 days.
Installed 17 update packages, 16 for security including a new kernel.
super
yum update
Stopped Discourse.
cd ~/discourse/image
./launcher stop app
Rebooted.
The system came up promptly after the reboot. We are now running on
kernel 4.14.320-243.544.amzn2.x86_64.
On the Discourse Upgrade manager page:
https://scanalyst.fourmilab.ch/admin/upgrade
I upgraded:
docker_manager (This upgrade must be run first:
the other upgrade buttons are
disabled until it has been updated.)
The upgrade page, running in Chromium, hung displaying the
progress in this update. I finally gave up, reloaded the page,
and it reported docker-manager updated successfully.
With docker_manager updated, I now proceeded to update:
discourse-spoiler-alert
discourse-chatbot
discourse
The Admin page now reports we're running on 3.2.0.beta1-dev.
Verified that spoilers are working after being updated.
Verified that Shalmaneser (discourse-chatbot) is working after being
updated.
With the release of 3.2.0, the original top of screen navigation menu
has been retired in favour of two "new and improved" options: "Header
Dropdown" and "Sidebar". I chose Header Dropdown since it conserves
screen real estate when viewing posts, which is particularly desirable
on mobile devices with small screens.
