I’m working on deploying to fly.io on the free tier. Just trying things out for now. After I’ve deployed by app with fly launch, I’m not able to redeploy with fly deploy. When I try I get the message below. Is this expected? Running i-know-test release_command: /app/bin/migrate release_command …

This problem was due to a problem on the Fly.io side. I reported the problem. When they let me know that it was fixed, deployments then started working without issue.

If I recall correctly, the free tier limits you to one machine—and fly deploy uses the rolling deployment strategy by default, which would require a second machine. Maybe try the immediate strategy if downtime and risk of an outage if there’s a build failure is acceptable?

Sounds reasonable. I can’t figure out how to do an immediate deploy yet. Do you know how?

I just now tried: fly deploy --strategy immediate and still got: Updating existing machines in 'irvine-my-app' with immediate strategy [1/2] Updating 9080eed2b9e958 [app] Continuing after error: failed to update VM 9080eed2b9e958: You have reached the maximum number of machines for this app. T…

But I just today signed up for - I think they call it the hobby tier. It’s supposed to be free I thought. I just want to try it out a little to see if I want to use it for deployment. But if you can only deploy once, that doesn’t seem very useful. Maybe I’m missing something here.

I think you must be missing something, I know what you’ve described is exactly how I started my now-paid-plan projects on fly.io , and I was able to deploy more than once (tho stumbled through some different problems). My hypothesis about the deployment strategy definitely seems incorrect.

Perhaps it is some increased fraud prevention of some kind? I’ve occasionally seen posts of this on the public forum. I’ve always put some credits into my accounts, so never ran into it.
