Build Timeout During APT Package Installation

Deployment ID: 261a568e-62d7-4f69-9ddb-22560c8e0d6a

Service: enthusiastic-vibrancy

Repository: kdehkanaliev/ibrat_kids_by_me (branch: kamoliddin)

Commit: 01721a0add5f8f393bddb26955a48fb8b816a4d4

Build System: Railpack 0.27.0

Node.js: 22.22.3

Problem

The deployment build hangs and times out during the APT package installation phase. The build completes the Railpack plan generation and begins executing build steps normally, but stalls when installing the libatomic1 package.

Timeline

10:42:45 UTC — Deployment triggered

10:42:49 UTC — Railpack 0.27.0 successfully generated build plan

10:46:52 UTC — Build execution started (npm ci, copying files, installing dependencies)

10:55:57 UTC — APT package manager began downloading package lists

10:56:08 UTC — Build canceled after ~11-minute hang with error:

Build Failed: build daemon returned an error < failed to solve: Canceled: context canceled >

Expected Behavior

Previous deployments of the same project complete in 1–1.5 minutes. The build should finish APT installation and proceed to the runtime image build within seconds.

Actual Behavior

The build stalls for 11+ minutes during apt install libatomic1, then is canceled by the system. No error logs from APT itself — the build daemon simply times out.

Code Changes

The triggering commit modified:

package.json: Changed test script from echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1 to node --test

Added new test file: test/chain-word.test.js

Minor game service logic updates (not related to build)

These changes do not affect the build process or APT dependencies.

Diagnostics

Build logs show no APT errors or package conflicts

The libatomic1 package is a standard runtime dependency (GCC atomic operations library)

No changes to package-lock.json or build configuration

Previous successful deployment: 90e15de3-0a52-4126-ba4f-bc728d681cb8 (10:01:20 UTC, same day)

Suspected Root Cause

APT mirror latency — The Debian package mirror is slow or experiencing network issues

Builder resource contention — The build machine is overloaded or under-resourced

Transient network issue — Connectivity between builder and APT mirror is degraded

Request

Please investigate:

Whether the APT mirror or builder infrastructure experienced issues around 10:55–10:56 UTC

If there are known builder performance degradations or resource constraints

Whether retrying the deployment would succeed with current infrastructure state

We're aware of these transient build queue issues and are actively working on improvements. If you have any queued builds, cancel them and wait before redeploying, since additional redeploys can compound the queue.
