Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Intialisation hanging - Initialization › Taking a snapshot of the code…

• 📚 Nixpacks Was Unable to Generate a Build Plan for This App

• 📚 Nixpacks

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

actually it did something this time:
importing to docker

12s

=== Successfully Built! ===

Run:

docker run -it production-asia-southeast1-eqsg3a.railway-registry.com/4e4f9834-6eea-487e-ace9-63617fdc8ba9:1344c865-2b35-461d-9f6e-d649a2e081b0

Build time: 459.44 seconds

but other time, it can hang for more than 16 min, why so much deployment time difference?

before: importing to docker

9s

=== Successfully Built! ===

Run:

docker run -it production-asia-southeast1-eqsg3a.railway-registry.com/4e4f9834-6eea-487e-ace9-63617fdc8ba9:c7837b29-4b7d-4d7a-a460-fa0628b83076

Build time: 92.68 seconds

the code base is the same, please explain why it used to take 92.68 seconds, now it takes x4-5 more times.

Hi there, are you still running into this? This was likely a transient issue at the time — we've cycled our machines which should already help with this but please let us know if you still continue to run into this!

Yes I still encounter the same issue. Sometimes it deploys within 1 min and sometime it hangs forever and it will get deployed in more than 5-8min. Why?

I need the deployment time to be constant for my system and within less than 3 min, do you think it's possible?

Hello,

This should be fixed now. We have made a few changes in our orchestrator to mitigate this.

not fixed.

the blocking process is

You can speed up that process by building a smaller image.

building the image is not the issue, it usually build super fast. The issue is in your system, check the blocking process.

Building the image is not the issue, that is correct, but building a smaller image can help.

it's getting worse. please explain why this process needs so much time.

Larger images take longer to upload.

this is a network issue guys! exporting to docker image format

10m 48s

importing to docker

7s

auth

sharing credentials for production-asia-southeast1-eqsg3a.railway-registry.com

That step is the image upload process. Larger images take longer to upload, while a smaller image will upload faster and complete that step in less time.

So please explain to me, yesterday it was building and uploading it within 2 min. And today, after no change in the code, it takes more than 10 min.

it's getting worse by the minutes.

Again, no change in the code.
