Mr. Technician•7/5/25, 8:24 PM

can i do this when all im doing is pulling an existing image?

Mr. Technician•7/5/25, 8:24 PM

i’m not surprised it’s big since both images i tested include Chromium

AlexOP•7/5/25, 8:26 PM

You can get original dockerfile and drop the stuff you don't need. I would start from that point

ah ok, i doubt there much i can drop unfortunately

The code below was working fine a day ago
but now I am getting this error
anything I have missed ?
I was not calling start before as well

619napster•7/5/25, 11:59 PM

Never mind i just missed a pacakge in requirements.txt

I'm getting: Container suddenly disconnected, try again

it's working perfectly on localhost but once I deploy I get the error

jaden•7/7/25, 2:06 AM

In our current architecture, I want it to be similar to "worker for platform." A worker can mount multiple containers (services) and use subdomains to distribute traffic to different containers. Currently, when I look at the deployment process, containers are represented as an array. In this case, it seems that deploying multiple containers simultaneously is not feasible, as this is a distributed scenario where several deployments may occur at the same time. How can this be handled?

Tterrxo Did you get it working?

jaden•7/7/25, 2:08 AM

yes.

jaden•7/7/25, 2:23 AM

The wrangler tail prints the logs of the current worker. Is there any way to query the real-time logs of the container through a command? This is because the stack output of the container is also of concern.

Hey, were you able to solve this, I'm having the same issue for multi part form

Alexander•7/7/25, 7:47 PM

Hey

Thanks for the awesome work with Containers - I'm having so much plans for these. Building some really cool stuff and I want to understand if there is a limit & a way to increase

max_instances

max_instances

for an account?

Elliot Hesp•7/8/25, 8:39 AM

Is it possible to access the underlying storagestorage when extending the container?

can you not pass envVars with startAndWaitForPorts?

John Spurlock•7/8/25, 5:23 PM

not at the call-level like

, but looks like it will default to the container-level envVarsenvVars so you could set them there

yea just saw the pr to add startoptions

I'm not able to make my container work properly once deployed, I Keep getting "Container suddenly disconnected, try again"

while in local, everything runs smooth

toshu•7/9/25, 12:04 AM

Hello! Are there any examples of github actions for containers deployment? My action works intermittently, fails often with auth permission:
[ERROR] A request to the Cloudflare API (/zones/.../workers/routes) failed.

Authentication error [code: 10000]

It looks like you are authenticating Wrangler via a custom API token set in an environment variable.
Please ensure it has the correct permissions for this operation.

downeydabber•7/9/25, 1:50 AM

Are you providing it an API token? Shot in the dark, but if you are using the default "edit cloudflare workers" template, it doesn't seem to include containers permissions by default, might be worth trying to add that permission and see if it helps

downeydabber•7/9/25, 1:56 AM

Has anyone had success with containers on ARM based macs? getting container errors on both base OS and in a devcontainer on mac. Everything seems to be configured correctly but can't get it to fetch properly. Even the cloudflare examples don't seem to be working. Haven't tested on an x86 machine yet

Idyll•7/9/25, 3:46 AM

So... I've managed to get some interesting proof-of-concept stuff going with containers. But to make them really useful I need to talk to data somewhere...

can I bind D1 somehow? do I need to talk back to the worker for D1? is the standard approach for this a websocket?
- what are the plans for mounting R2 like was discussed on the video?
- what about hyperdrive?
- I have some workloads where even with hyperdrive I can't imagine wanting to be out of the same region as my DB. and right now my containers end up on another continent.

ralphjsmit•7/9/25, 8:37 AM

Can we use the Containers beta to run the Browser Rendering feature at a higher memory?
Or is the dockerfile a must and must I try to run e.g. Chromium via Docker?

sampotter•7/9/25, 10:10 AM

Anybody elses containers being consistently being evicted after approx 2 minutes? I'm starting up a container manually using the

start

start

method so that I can provide a JOB_IDJOB_ID environment variable to the container. The job starts up and begins processing for roughly 2 minutes before dying? Is this normal? Btw I'm setting the sleepAftersleepAfter option to 24h24h

ralphjsmit•7/9/25, 10:30 AM

Hello, does anybody see why I'm getting the following 404?

P.S. Opened a GitHub thread but tagging here for any changes / tips I might have missed)

snehendu•7/10/25, 5:26 PM

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to do programmatic deployment to cloudflare?

In my usecase, users would want to spin up a docker container from a docker image. But the thing is I want to do this programmatically as I will have the container code saved in R2

There will be multiple containers that will spin up from a single image and we need to take care of how to handle the deployment

Kraus•7/10/25, 9:18 PM

I am setting instance type to standard but the actual containers are still getting provisioned to 256mb of memory. How can I fix this?

I want to deploy container and apply scaling.
How can I do?
I can’t see options to use container deployments so.

Beny•7/13/25, 8:21 AM

We are using the websocket method. It works pretty well.
You can also run a local worker inside the container with remote bindings to access things like R2 and D1. Hyperdrive isn't supported with remote bindings yet but is being worked on

flof.fly•7/13/25, 8:38 AM

Hey, I'm working Locally with Worker invoking a Workflow invoking a Container.

It seems to me that Workflows are Docker Containers when executed locally, and Container is also up&running in localhost:8080 (i can reach it using postman i.e)

But seems that the Workflow's container is unable to see the Container's container.

I get the following error in localhost:

✘ [ERROR] Error checking if container is ready: connect(): Connection refused: container port not found. Make sure you exposed the port in your container definition.

✘ [ERROR] Error checking if container is ready: The operation was aborted

I tried changing hostname to 0.0.0.0:8080 but didn't change much.

Any help? Would love to share my wrangler config file.

This only applies in localhost, deployed works as expected.
