Docker Build fails on phx.digest

Hi!

I’m trying to deploy a project to fly.io, and for that I need to create a docker file. However, it seems to fail on phx.digest. The project can be found at: monorepo/solo_leveling_go at master · JulianBuse/monorepo · GitHub

The Dockerfile:

# Find eligible builder and runner images on Docker Hub. We use Ubuntu/Debian instead of
# Alpine to avoid DNS resolution issues in production.
#
# https://hub.docker.com/r/hexpm/elixir/tags?page=1&name=ubuntu
# https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu?tab=tags
#
#
# This file is based on these images:
#
#   - https://hub.docker.com/r/hexpm/elixir/tags - for the build image
#   - https://hub.docker.com/_/debian?tab=tags&page=1&name=bullseye-20210902-slim - for the release image
#   - https://pkgs.org/ - resource for finding needed packages
#   - Ex: hexpm/elixir:1.12.3-erlang-24.1.4-debian-bullseye-20210902-slim

Calling mix assets.deploy compiles your app either way, so it should be called after mix compile. It seems your app is simply not compiling.

As a side note, you’re doing a lot of cleanup work in the builder image which seems unnecessary with multi-stage Docker builds.

i am deploying a phoenix app (i have not made any changes to the default phoenix app), since i am just trying deploying for the first time. and i have used the command flyctl launch in the project folder. But i am getting an error.
