The branch predated the official-image migration (coop-cloud/discourse#16), so its
merge-base was 0.8.1+3.5.0 and the PR's file list re-showed that migration's changes
as if this PR introduced them. The branch TREE already matched upstream; only its
history lacked those commits. Recording the merge leaves the PR's diff as what it
actually changes: app 3.5.3 -> 2026.7.1 and redis 7.4-alpine -> 8.10-alpine.
Conflict in compose.yml resolved in favour of the branch (both sides edited the same
image lines; the branch already carries upstream's official-image switch plus the
version bumps). Resulting tree is byte-identical to the pre-merge branch tree.
Move the db off the bitnami-era pgvector:pg17 + hand-rolled pg_upgrade entrypoint
to discourse/postgres:pg18 (pgvector + discourse's auto-upgrade layer). The image
runs the in-place major-version pg_upgrade itself on boot; the recipe configures it
via env:
- a small inline entrypoint injects the db password secret into $DB_PASSWORD (the
image expects it in the env, no *_FILE support)
- POSTGRES_USER (the install user pg_upgrade must match) defaults to 'postgres' --
correct for fresh installs and bitnami-origin clusters -- overridable from .env
- POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS=--no-data-checksums so the new pg18 cluster matches pre-18
clusters (pg18 initdb enables checksums by default; pg_upgrade needs a match)
- mount postgresql_data at /var/lib/postgresql (versioned PGDATA .../18/docker)
- pg_backup.sh uses POSTGRES_USER for the dump/drop/recreate; fix paths
- document the POSTGRES_USER override in .env.sample, README and the release note
- drop entrypoint.postgres.sh.tmpl
Tested on cctest: pg17->pg18 upgrade preserves data and serves over HTTPS; fresh
install works; backup+restore round-trips.
DISCOURSE_SMTP_PROTOCOL --> DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS (takes a boolean true/false, not the old tls/ssl value, so translate it rather than copying it straight across)
** WARNING B: undeploy before deploy
it is necessary to `abra app undeploy` your old discourse app before deploying this version. otherwise the database will get killed and be in a bad state before the migration.
this was a non-fatal error in testing, but still a huge pain.
`abra app undeploy YOURDOMAIN` # cleaning stops your discourse
`abra app deploy YOURDOMAIN` # with the new version
** WARNING C: install user
if your deployment's database has an "install user" other than `postgres`
(some older deployments do), you must set the POSTGRES_USER env var in your .env
for this migration, otherwise the postgres upgrade aborts with an install-user
mismatch.
Check your old deployment's install user before upgrading (if this command returns postgres, then you do not need to set this env):
abra app run YOURAPPDOMAIN db -- psql -U discourse -tAc 'select rolname from pg_roles where oid = 10'
