Updating Discourse

NOTE
For the main Discourse instance, you will need to take the server you're updating out of the load balancer to ensure no downtime.

• To update Discourse, run /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app. Discourse will automatically stop, rebuild and update.
• For the main instance, add the server back into the load balancer.
• Verify Discourse is working correctly.
• Run /home/ubuntu/updatediscourse.sh to image the machine, create a launch configuration and add it to the auto-scaling group.

Adding plug-ins

• Add the github link to the app.yml of the Discourse instance you want to add the plugin
• Follow the updating Discourse instructions
