can't fetch external urls from node (timeout error)

I saw your thread before, but forgot to mention it.
I tried your suggestion and various other distributions without success.
But thank you for your help anyway, I appreciate it!! :slight_smile:

I just found a solution to my problem though:

I destroyed the app on fly.io and re-deployed it as-is on a new instance, problem gone.

Everything else stayed the same, apart from adding these to my Dockerfile (new lines prefixed with a +):

FROM node:18-alpine

+ LABEL fly_launch_runtime="nodejs"

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.json yarn.lock ./
RUN yarn install --frozen-lockfile

COPY . .
RUN yarn prisma migrate deploy
RUN yarn prisma generate
RUN yarn vite build

+ ENV NODE_ENV production

CMD [ "yarn", "start" ]

The only other difference I can think of, is that the previous instance was initially using a buildpack, then was changed to use a Dockerfile. Maybe that affected the instance in some permanent way.

In any case, what I did was basically to “to turn it off and on again”. It worked, I just wish I had thought of that earlier.
