#24 5.505 (See full trace by running task with --trace)

so, i don’t think my API has assets like a normal rails app, so is it ok to comment out the build action in the fly.io rake file?

# commands used to deploy a Rails application
namespace :fly do
  # BUILD step:
  #  - changes to the filesystem made here DO get deployed
  #  - NO access to secrets, volumes, databases
  #  - Failures here prevent deployment
  task :build => 'assets:precompile'

  # RELEASE step:
  #  - changes to the filesystem made here are DISCARDED
  #  - full access to secrets, databases
  #  - failures here prevent deployment
  task :release => 'db:migrate'

  # SERVER step:
  #  - changes to the filesystem made here are deployed
  #  - full access to secrets, databases
  #  - failures here result in VM being stated, shutdown, and rolled back
  #    to last successful deploy (if any).
  task :server do
    sh 'bin/rails server'
  end
end

Don’t comment out the entire line. If you want a build step that does nothing, replace that line with:

task :build

If you have things you would later like to add, you can make that task do shell commands or arbitrary ruby code.

i’ll give that a shot! thank you!

hope the new gig is going well

rubys · September 11, 2022, 3:57pm

hope the new gig is going well

I’m having fun!

I don’t have much experience with an Rails API app. Is there a convenient way to detect such an app? If so, I can adjust the generated files to better match what is required.

denvermullets · September 11, 2022, 4:30pm

that’s great! i’m not sure how we could determine that, actually.

well, some success, got past that step and now running into OOM errors.

i can create a new thread but even after changing the max threads to 2 and max workers, and using a dedicated server it’s still showing this:

I’ve not had a lot of luck deploying anything but trivial Rails apps on fly.io’s free tier. See: Getting Started · Fly Docs for information on increasing memory and the pricing implications of doing so.

denvermullets · September 11, 2022, 6:18pm

ah yeah, i thought i had selected a higher tier when i initially deployed it but that was indeed my issue. went into my dashboard and scaled it up to the tier i wanted and it deployed successfully!

thanks again for all your help, really do appreciate it!
