On deploy: "Error An unknown error occured"

1

I have been having some fun today having deploys failing from CI due to time-outs. Having figured out why, with the help of @kurt (seems to be down to config.yml not persisting across CI builds and so it takes 4-ish minutes to get all the wireguard stuff sorted, by which time it times-out waiting for that), I have retried builds from both CI and from local. Still using a remote builder as I want to get that working.

But both now fail to release with a new issue “An unknown error occurred”. Hmm. Have there been any changes in the past few hours? These would be LHR.

e.g

From CI (after 3 minutes):

Error An unknown error occured.

Same builder as before, fly-builder-solitary-shape-9303, but that doesn’t seem to be the issue given it does build. Strange.

Using latest fly CLI for both too:
$ fly version
fly v0.0.282 darwin/amd64 Commit: 02c46ec BuildDate: 2022-01-12T17:44:39Z

Is this app scaled to 0 by chance? You may need to run fly deploy --strategy immediate when it’s scaled to 0.

Ah ha! Simple as that.

It was indeed. I must have scaled it to zero so long ago I’d forgotten about even doing that as I’ve switched to experimenting with local deploys (this was a different app from earlier).

Thanks!
