Hello! I haven't programmed much of anything in a very long time but have I have been making super teeny-tiny bug fixes for a webapp of mine for the past year. The last successful bug fix was November 7th, 2024 and I have been using the app quite regularly with no issue.
Today I decided to try and fix one more teeny bug but suddenly am reading logs about Nixpack and I'm quite lost because I don't believe I've ever used such a package before. I have tried looking some stuff up but a lot of people seem to have a separate Docker file that helps and I do not. I am a little lost on how to fix the issue since I haven't been programming for a while. 😦
This is a Django app and in my test environment it works fine, no crashing or django build errors.

In case needed for extra clarification, here are the build logs.

Do you mind switching the builder to Railpack and see if it manages to build your application?
Unfortunately, this is where the rustiness comes in because I am not sure what builder you are referring to. 😠I've always been using github as my deployment option.
Oh my goodness, that worked!! (And so did my bug fix thankfully ahh!!!)

I am glad that changing the builder worked out for you. Do you still have any further questions?
What the difference between the two? If you have any documentation you can give me and I'll read up on it.

On a high level they both serve the same purpose of automating the process of creating Docker images as opposed of you writing your own Dockerfiles. I think the following blog post highlights the reason for why Railpack exists now.
