Render app deploy stuck on in progress
I was trying to deploy an app on Render but stuck in a forever cycle of “in progress” build, the build never ended processing:
Notice 127.0.0.1? That’s the problem.
Render doesn’t “pick it up”.
You have to run it on port 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
In this way for Node scripts, prepending HOST=0.0.0.0
:
HOST=0.0.0.0 node app.js
I used this in package.json, and used npm run start
in my Render site setting “Start Command” for an Astro site:
{
...
"scripts": {
"dev": "astro dev",
"start": "HOST=0.0.0.0 node ./dist/server/entry.mjs",
"build": "astro build",
"preview": "astro preview",
"astro": "astro"
},
...
}
