Help running ssh console command

Questions / Help

I am trying to run a console command using flyctl ssh console -C "npm run setup-db" but its just hanging with the message “Updating your Volta directory. This may take a few moments…” – any idea how to fix this? It was working fine a couple weeks ago.

2

tried to restart the instance and do it again?

flyctl apps restart [APPNAME]

Thanks - I’ve restarted, redeployed and tried completely deleting the app and trying again - still hanging on “Updating your Volta directory :confused:” – I’ve also updated to the newest version of the CLI tool.

Having the same issue. Console is hanging on

Updating your Volta directory. This may take a few moments...

I’ve also scaled up to 2GB RAM. No luck.

I solved this problem by adding a volta key in my package.json and specifying the node version (making sure it’s the same version specified in the generated Dockerfile):

 {
    ...
    "volta": {
      "node": "12.16.1"
    }
 }

no idea why this works though! if anyone has an explanation, I’d love to know :slight_smile:
