bash: gunicorn: command not found

This is probably because the directory containing gunicorn is not present in the $PATH. I’m not sure where it’s installed, but it might be worth either specifying an absolute path for it or adding its containing directory to your $PATH (probably in the Dockerfile).

The Dockerfile seem like not getting the environment variables set via flyctl secrets set SECRET_KEY="xxxx"

Secrets are not available at build time. However, you can use:

fly deploy -e SECRET_KEY=xxx -e ANOTHER_SECRET=zzz

to make the env vars available at build time.

It’s worth noting ARGs are different than ENV and you can set them at build time with:

fly deploy --build-arg JWT_SECRET=xxx

@Loonb

It is a django error saying the SECRET_KEY cannot be empty. The deployment failed.
settings.py: SECRET_KEY = os.getenv(“DJANGO_SECRET_KEY”, get_random_secret_key())
Look like there is no such variable in the environment.

This could be caused by failed deployments rolling back secrets that were set. Is SECRET_KEY present if you fly secrets list?
