Help please! I’m running fly launch but getting stuck at the mix phx.gen.release --docker stage. The error code is (RuntimeError) couldn't fetch https://hub.docker.com/v2/namespaces/hexpm/repositories/elixir/tags?name=1.15.7-erlang-26.0.2-debian-bullseye-
I got a feeling it’s my VPN issue since i’m in China. For example I’m unable to run curl -I https://docker.com/ on my vscode cli console. However, I can access docker no problem with my browser.
I have 2 options.
Option 1: Dont use fly launch
I can run the mix phx.gen.release then manually write the docker file. Problem is all the tutorials I see requires me to run fly launch regardless. This means it still gets stuck at the docker stage. Is there another option other than fly launch?
Option 2: Make sure I can call docker.com from my vscode cli
I suspect the call is failing because of my VPN issue. If I can fix this, I can just run the standard fly launch and this would be no problem. Except I’m super confused on how to do this with vscode. What I do know is my VPN listens on a http proxy 59527
Hmmm, so what I did was update phoenix version in my mix.exs file. But I dont think changing the project will affect anything? Correct me if i’m wrong please. I thought that if any fixes was made to the mix phx.gen.release --docker command, it will be through a version bump for elixir, not phoenix.
Regardless, I bumped up the phoenix version to 1.7.10 just to try. Here’s the full error:
Side note: It seems the phoenix version is dictated by my elixir version. This can be seen from the error: (phoenix 1.7.10) lib/mix/tasks/phx.gen.release.ex:205: Mix.Tasks.Phx.Gen.Release.gen_docker/1. Doesnt matter which version I set for my project
Yea you are correct I was just hoping it was something more haha.
Your situation is definitely unique, I’m not sure how we can get past it being blocked… the dockerfile template is here
you’d have to set the values manually in the template, or here is the Dockerfile from my machine when I run it.

Thank you for sharing the dockerfile. I would still face the problem of deploying it to fly.io. That is because I need to run the fly launch command, which will eventually run mix phx.gen.release --docker under the hood. This means it will get stuck and I cannot create my fly app. Do you have any suggestions on this?
Before I saw your reply, I tried running just mix phx.gen.release and I copied your Dockerfile and .dockerignore file. Then I ran flyctl launch --dockerfile ./Dockerfile. It was able to push to fly successfully I think. The app status currently shows “suspended” which I think means it’s pushed successfully but crashed.
Happy to get new errors:
WARNING The app is not listening on the expected address and will not be reachable by fly-proxy.
You can fix this by configuring your app to listen on the following addresses:
- 0.0.0.0:8080
Thank you very much for the help!!! I’m almost there.
I’m only getting this error now:
(Postgrex.Error) ERROR 42P01 (undefined_table) relation "musics" does not exist
Does this mean my app is connected to my DB?
Locally I know this means I need to do ecto.create then do ecto.migrate. I’m unsure how to do in on fly.io though. Am I somehow suppose to add it into the Dockerfile like this?:
