Yeah its still using orbstack to build but it still behaves differently from running

docker build

docker build

docker build

docker build. I pretty sure I'm hitting some kind of constraint or something is failing silently.

I am trying to use a django built container, with worker's containers, and I am getting an empty body on django end(POST request). Get is working fine (this means that container is running fine). Anything wrong that I might be doing?

Kirk Ouimet•9/30/25, 5:25 PM

OK @kian I figured it out after lots of trial and error. Something happened on Cloudflares end that is breaking

POST

POST

POST

POST requests from the Workers to the Containers on the first try. It causes this error:

Container suddenly disconnected, try again

Container suddenly disconnected, try again

Container suddenly disconnected, try again

Container suddenly disconnected, try again

So, I implemented retry logic for POST requests that waits 1 second and retries the POST request again and again. It usually works within the second or third request.

GET requests work perfectly every time

My POST retry flow works for now - hope this is helpful

And some notes from Claude to the containers team

P

Phatso•9/30/25, 7:20 PM

so in the base containers config they simply reference a dockerfile like this: https://github.com/cloudflare/templates/blob/main/containers-template/wrangler.jsonc#L13

that's not ideal for my project because:
1. I want to build the containers myself
- (I need to pass ARGs and then minify them)
2. I want to keep my

docker/

docker/

docker/

docker/ stuff separate of my

web/

web/

web/

web/ stuff

I made this project a few days after Containers came out. Are there any new built-in mechanisms to help me handle this?

Additionally, I need to periodically update my images in the container repo. So far I've been using a Github Action that builds and pushes the new versions using the wrangler CLI
, however this seems like it.. breaks(?) my images? Eventually, after a few updates, when a container boots up it says it can't find the image.

To fix this, I've just had to manually build + minify + push them on my machine.

Any advice would be appreciated!

There is no Container instance available at this time.
This is likely because you have reached your max concurrent instance count (set in wrangler config) or are you currently provisioning the Container.
If you are deploying your Container for the first time, check your dashboard to see provisioning status, this may take a few minutes.

Even though there's no rollout going on and I have plenty of available machines (either stopped or started).

Any specific solution to this or just a symptom of it still being in beta?

dr.dj•10/1/25, 5:25 PM

Will Containers have access to D1's like Workers?

M

Mike Nomitch•10/1/25, 8:57 PM

Both are planned.

First step -> We're working on generic requests from container to worker on specified hostnames. IE:

foo.cf

foo.cf

foo.cf

foo.cf in the container calls to

handleFoo

handleFoo

handleFoo

handleFoo. - That will open up a bunch of options, and then from there we'll build out more official integrations with D1 and hyperdrive.

R2 also definitely coming, but not as sure on timeline yet. The step above would allow you to manually set it up, but the ideal interface is just a mounted volume IMO.
