Build from Dockerfile doesn't start

Hey. Hey, I've been struggling with this for over 8 hours, so far I can't deploy my Laravel/Svelte/Inertia application anywhere. At first I wanted to use docker-compose.yml and host it on Azure, after failing to set it up I reverted to just Dockerfile and Railway. Unfortunately, when I try to build the application and deploy to Railway, the build just won't start, even though Railway found my dockerfile. Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working?

I see, guess I'll have to wait to be sure haha.

I do think there is more going on under the hood then just a delay in logs-visibility. There are plenty users reporting that their (once working) deploys are failing since today (including myself) without any changes to their code^^ @sheffik The build logs error should be fixed and at least for me my build error has also somehow magically gone away 😄

I'll check it out! Thanks

Wait a few seconds/minutes, there seems to be a delay with displaying them. In my case my deployment (build) was already running for 2mins until logs were showing up yep 😄

Looks like you've got it, but I do want to note that docker compose is not supported by Railway atm

sheffikthegod•2y ago
As a guy who does mainly React/Nuxt, I would've never guessed that deploying a web app could take this long lmao
Adam
Adam•2y ago
it requires persistent storage, which Railway does not support

sheffikthegod•2y ago
I am not using docker-compose tho
Adam
Adam•2y ago
You were, you said so in your first message just wanted to clear that up

sheffikthegod•2y ago
Yeah, I switched up back to just docker, cause I wanted to deploy on railway but I honestly can't wrap my head around this
saintcore
saintcore•2y ago
Hmm I'm wondering why you do build the docker image (if using nuxt for example) by yourself? IMHO Railway does a great job when letting them handle this step for you. At least for me (but I'm working at the backend part and almost all my projects are running with strapi)

I am building a Laravel/Svelte app this is a nightmare tbh haha I got rid of the previous error AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.203. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message this is the last thing standing in my path I guess

like saintcore said, why not let nixpacks build your app?
Want results from more Discord servers?
Add your server
