404 failure with deployment with remix blues stack

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently setup a new Remix project using the Blues-stack (GitHub - remix-run/blues-stack: The Remix Stack for deploying to Fly with PostgreSQL, authentication, testing, linting, formatting, etc.). However, consistently the project is failing on the docker build step with a 404 error. This is a copy of the docker output:

The github action workflow step that is being run looks like this:

I’ve been advised that possibly my Github FLY_API_TOKEN secret is incorrect, but I’ve already tried updating that and it hasn’t resolved the issue. Any help is much appreciated!

Wow that’s a really strange error.

Are you comfortable inviting me to the GitHub project for this so I can poke at it? My GitHub username is mrkurt.

Thank you so much! I’ve sent you an invitation from
https://github.com/victorias/worth

I think the app name in fly.toml wasn’t correct. Can you check and see if the <name>-4865 was intentional in there?

That 404 is coming from our registry because it’s trying to push to an app that doesn’t exist.

Oh it also looks like the FLY_API_TOKEN secret isn’t set properly for the GitHub repository. You can get that value by running flyctl auth token locally, or generate one here: Sign In · Fly

Hi @kurt,

I’ve followed many advices found here and there:

  • Downgrade buildx to 0.9.1
  • Set provenance to false
  • Reset the FLY_API_TOKEN

I’m still facing the same issue:

I would greatly appreciate your help :pray:

Ok something was not clear for me, hope this could help the next confused guy.

I’ve created two apps: <myapp>-main and <myapp>-staging.
I was pushing on the staging branch.

But because I’m using --app ${{ steps.app_name.outputs.value }}-staging and --app ${{ steps.app_name.outputs.value }}-main in the deploy phase, I named my app <myapp> in the fly.toml, not corresponding to an existing app.

TL;DR: even if you’re pushing to a different app via a different branch, you must ensure the app name you use in fly.toml exists.
