Cannot deploy: context deadline exceeded

Hi there,

I am trying to deploy a very small image (< 50MB) and I cannot do it:

[kurt@paradox terraria]$ fly deploy

Remote builder fly-builder-dry-thunder-6876 ready

In the last try I aborted after waiting for 5 minutes.

That’s just one example, but I’ve been having problems during the last hours (for instance ssh console very slow or unable to connect, machine api-proxy problems, etc). I did some tests with fly.io a couple of months ago and everything worked so much better; I hope is just a very bad day today or something wrong with my account… Is there any workaround, like building the images myself?

Best,
Kurt.-

We were having an incident a few hours ago, so you might have seen some sub-par performance :sweat_smile: then for sure.

You’re right, there is a workaround to this sort of thing: you can build locally with fly deploy --local-only

Thanks Eli.

Definitely I have to check local image building. I am not very “docker-savvy” and I don’t have a docker server installed (I am using podman right now) but it does not seem very hard.

Today everything worked better and smoother… not perfectly though, there where some little hiccups from time to time (specially when “Sending build context to Docker daemon”… it’s very slow), but it is working quite better.

Best,
Kurt.-
