I’m using the Balena free tier to develop an app which uses a RPi to present a web UI for sending commands over USB to modelling guitar amplifiers from the Fender Mustang LT series (project outline page is work in progress but visible at https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ZGsf0yGLheq5xF0jEiFNVfTS9…

I’m happy to report that a push I did a few minutes ago using the Balena CLI succeeded. Support access for that fleet is still enabled and the release created by this is here if anyone wants to compare it with failed sessions: balena dashboard Sign in to monitor and manage your device…

Hello @tim-littlefair , We opened Incident: Builder partially degraded service . It’s current status is Monitoring: A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results. So it is not fully resolved. But it would be helpful to know - are you still experiencing the issue?

Thanks for looking at this. I’ve broken my deploy script at the moment, but once I’ve fixed it I’ll do a test push, and a couple more later in the (Australian, UTC+8) day. I’ll let you know how I go.

My first attempt after (hopefully) fixing the deploy script failed a few seconds ago like the ones I’ve had over the last week or two: balena push --debug --draft --source _work/balena_fakeroot-0.2.0+beta0026.33f6945.2 fhau-staging [debug] new argv=[/home/tim/Applications/balena/bin/node,/home/tim/…

After fixing the Dockerfile, the first attempt failed, then the second completed. [maneline-web] Successfully built 10563eee0d58 [Info] Uploading images [Success] Successfully uploaded images [Info] Built on 4b2d7d0 [Success] Release successfully created! [Info] …

I should note that I’m running with outdated version 22.1.1 of the Balena CLI, so I’ll update that too before doing any more pushes.

I’ve updated CLI and done a few more pushes, no luck. This is the log for the most recent (with timestamps before and after in case that helps) tim@tim-OptiPlex-7450-AIO:~/github/maneline$ date --utc Wed 17 Sep 2025 14:52:40 UTC tim@tim-OptiPlex-7450-AIO:~/github/maneline$ time scripts/build_relea…

Apologies for not reporting back on this earlier. I got 4 successful pushes in a row on Friday (2 with CLI version 22.4.4, 2 more with 22.4.6). I had one failed build today, but I noticed that the CLI had been updated again and when I came up to 22.4.7 the push worked first time. I’ll leave it a c…

I’m having problems again, and this time they seem to be occurring 100% of the time. I’ve upgraded to to CLI 2.4.15, this didn’t fix the problem, but it did give me a debug stack trace which contained file/line number in the JS/node module source where the error was raised and handled - not sure if…

4th attempt is working - this time I left the –debug flag off.

Failed due to an error on my part in the Dockerfile will fix that and try again.
