Same error here. Is there any workaround?

Hey there, could y’all try running LOG_LEVEL=debug fly deploy and share the output here, that may give us some more specific information on what’s going on.

I had the same issue when running the default fly deploy command. Over several attempts, I noticed the fly cli was always trying to run the remote builder which was never available. Since I am deploying from a local repo, I ran fly deploy --local-only to force the build process to run entirely on my machine. It then pushed and deployed the built image up to fly.io.

My setup was configured to deploy using Dockerfile.
