DigitalOcean

Question

Having troubles spinning up App

Hello, I am trying to deploy my Digital Ocean App, but keep running into an issue during the build phase (specifically the “App Upload” step). It has something to do with the DOCR image not being able to be saved. I wasn’t able to find any resources online relating to this issue, so it might be isolated to my project (not entirely sure). I am posting the logs where the error happened. Some relevant information:

  • Engine: Node 12.0.0
  • Not Using a Docker Image

I’m happy to add more context to this post. Please let me know :)

Hello @shaneciora

The issue might be related to a networking issue that occurred - https://status.digitalocean.com/

Have you tried to deploy the app again and if not can you try to deploy the app now?

Regards
