Maybe I need to delete the durable object instance that is associated with the container instance to delete it? Can someone from Cloudflare please provide guidance here

I was under the impression that when the container says inactive that means its resources are no longer being held onto? In the same way a DO gets evicted

<<@235148962103951360>We need to be able to choose where the container starts

tao•10/29/25, 10:12 PM

yeah i wait almost 1h it finished.

tao•10/29/25, 10:45 PM

The issue has reappeared — the containers are stuck in “updating.” Is there any solution besides just waiting?

nicoritschel•10/30/25, 3:03 AM

FYI seems this might just be a UI issue as you probably will see your container versions incrementing

Ttao yeah i wait almost 1h it finished.

no explanation at all

extremely disappointing from such a large corporation to not respond or give an explanation.

no, container versions not incrementing

fare•10/30/25, 9:34 AM

Can someone tell me if I'm sending 4-5 requests in a container's URL in a loop, will they all get directed to a single container instance, or they will be distributed against 3-4 instances? How is this derived?

fare•10/30/25, 9:35 AM

Locally I have seen them create multiple instances

kian•10/30/25, 1:53 PM

Depends how you're acquiring them - it's the same as Durable Objects. You can send them all to a static ID for a singleton, you can randomly distribute it across instances, etc

This is my code — I am not using a static ID. If I switch to using a static ID, does that mean my container rollout time won’t be as long?

kian•10/30/25, 3:40 PM

Rollouts depend on how quickly your old Containers are shutting down (they should handle SIGTERM signals) & how quickly the new ones can start

<@235148962103951360>•10/30/25, 4:01 PM

Is there any way to set the location a container starts in?

tao•10/30/25, 8:07 PM

If the old containers stay active and never shut down, does that mean I won’t be able to deploy new containers?

tao•10/30/25, 8:35 PM

If you were the user, would you accept waiting 5 hours for a new version to be redeployed? What if there’s a hot fix that needs to go live immediately? I’d like to know what we can do to reduce rollout time?

kian•10/30/25, 8:35 PM

Give us an application ID to investigate? It’s not normal behaviour but there’s no IDs for us to look at so far.

We’ll take a look - there’s a known bug that a new instance we’re trying to bring up can get stuck & we’re not correctly replacing it

tao•10/30/25, 8:53 PM

Thank you very much — I really appreciate you looking into this.
Hoping the fix can be rolled out as soon as possible.

kian•10/30/25, 8:54 PM

Generally we expect rollouts to take as long as old instances shutting down and starting new ones - new ones can sometimes get stuck and we need to fix some things to make sure the stuck ones are retried

kian•10/30/25, 8:54 PM

The rollout strategy options right now are only “proceed to the next step once X% of instances are on the new version” but we’ll bring more options over time

tao•10/31/25, 2:42 AM

could you please let us know when the fix is expected to be completed?
Currently each deployment takes a long time and it’s causing impact.

tao•10/31/25, 3:43 AM

We’re currently unable to deploy a new version because it’s stuck in the updating state

<@235148962103951360>•10/31/25, 3:43 AM

Can the location of a container be set manually?

Jadugar_Jaggu•10/31/25, 7:39 AM

Cloudflare should remove egress to its own products like kv and r2 from a cloudflare container.

Its preventing me to use it for a real world purpose.

Good for toying.

1984 Ford Laser•10/31/25, 7:44 AM

They've said that they plan on doing this in the future. I imagine that will happen when they have bindings within the container

<<@235148962103951360>Can the location of a container be set manually?

1984 Ford Laser•10/31/25, 7:48 AM

Nah

<@235148962103951360>•10/31/25, 10:19 AM

Well that sucks. It would be great to be able to choose the location.

tao•10/31/25, 10:26 AM

And I also noticed another issue — even when the status is still updating and the container version hasn’t increased, new containers still start and run.
This is quite confusing, because it’s hard to tell whether my new version has actually been deployed successfully or not.

<<@235148962103951360>Can the location of a container be set manually?

yes, you can constrain a container to run in a given city (EWR etc) or region (ENAM etc)
