Hi, I’ve been working on a Node project for 3+ months and the app deployed without issues. Since morning I’ve been having issue deploying. Here is the output:

My .dockerignore has node_modules folders added and the project only has a few config changes since last successful deploy.

Hi @indra83

There could be an issue with your remote builder app.

You can try deleting the remote builder, either from the dashboard or by running

fly apps destroy <your-fly-builder-name>

Then try to deploy again.

It’s also always a good idea to make sure flyctl is up-to-date.

Hi @andie

I’ve tried both suggestions but the issue persists - deleted the remote builder and updated flyctl (it was indeed out of date).

Seeing 804.5s (wow!) and ERRO[0814] Can't add file .../node_modules/... suggests that there may be a problem with your .dockerignore can you double check the node_module line in that file. /node_modules is also fine.

No luck… :confused:
Guess its time to move to GCP…
