Dockerfile deployment fails with "No such container"

I'm trying out Railway for the first time and having a weird issue with deployment. I connected to a GitHub repo with a Dockerfile, and Railway automatically tried to deploy the app. According to the logs, the Docker image was built and published. Then, the status changed to "Deploying" and it hung for about 5 minutes. After that, this appeared in the logs:

=========================
Container failed to start
=========================
 
/router.Router/StartDeployment UNKNOWN: Error response from daemon: No such container: 1fc1b54e43791d8ce2c26a2fbb146c16bb71207d1eff6f2f0474f334a306d034

I already tried redeploying and got the same result.

have you since tried removing that deployment and making a new one?

atomicollection•13mo ago

no, but I can try that I've removed the deployment but I don't see a way to add a new one. Should I push an empty commit to the repo? Or should I just remove the whole service and re-add it?

Brody•13mo ago

empty commit will do it

atomicollection•13mo ago

okay, new deployment is building… same issue. The build failed about 5 minutes after the status changed to Deploying

Brody•13mo ago

can you send the dockerfile?

atomicollection•13mo ago

Dockerfile

Brody•13mo ago

yeah looks fine to me, have you set any build or start commands in the settings

atomicollection•13mo ago

No, just added the repo

Brody•13mo ago

have you tested this dockerfile locally?

atomicollection•13mo ago

I tested building but not running it, one moment running fails with an error about permissions on the start script. that's probably the issue I really wish that error would show up in the logs on Railway

Brody•13mo ago

yeah that's odd for the script you'd likely need to do a chmod +x on it

atomicollection•13mo ago

yeah, I'm trying that now and re-running locally

MantisInABox•13mo ago

Yeah, it definitely should have showed. Weird it went though and then was just liked “no container”

atomicollection•13mo ago

it's probably a failure mode they haven't thought of. since it was an error from the docker daemon, not from the container.

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "./start.sh": permission denied: unknown.

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "./start.sh": permission denied: unknown.

that's the error. all on one line.

Is the start script in your project prior to adding it to the container, or is it generated in your build? I can’t view your docker file on my phone

atomicollection•13mo ago

the start script is in the project. and it wasn't executable, so that's probably the issue. I'm working on building and testing locally before I try again to push to Railway

this is their dockerfile

MantisInABox•13mo ago

Thanks Brody!

Brody•13mo ago

just needs +x on that script

MantisInABox•13mo ago

Yeah, more than likely

atomicollection•13mo ago

it works now, thank you for the prompt to actually try it locally

Brody•13mo ago

awesome

MantisInABox•13mo ago

Always best to test locally my dude
