Starting server runtime... anvil.server.RuntimeUnavailableError

Anvil Q&A
1

What I’m trying to do:
Run The anvil App. As soon as I’m triggering server side functions, I get this error message below:

Starting server runtime... 
anvil.server.RuntimeUnavailableError: Internal server error: Server runtime failed to start.
at Workspace, line 117

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
Retried starting the app a few times.

Everything worked well until today. Only today did this issue start. Also I have not made any code changes since yesterday (when it worked).

Added Context: Seems like other users are experiencing a similar issues based on bug reports I’ve looked at

Welcome to the forum!

As you note, there’s some sort of outage affecting a subset of users at the moment. Email Anvil support so they know you’re affected, too, and wait for a resolution.

Apps are not loading, failing with this message:

Starting server runtime... 
anvil.server.RuntimeUnavailableError: Internal server error: Server runtime failed to start.
at app/anvil_labs/non_blocking.py:67

Can we get some updates here? Support has been emailed

Hi folks,

I can confirm we had a partial service degradation over the last ~4 hours, affecting a minority of traffic. This is now resolved, and we should be back to normal service.

(Details for the technically curious: A suspected Podman bug filling up data volumes. We’re investigating why this didn’t get caught by our monitoring sooner!)

I am still receiving this same error

Hello,

I just started to receive this error for one of my apps. I have not modified the code since I ran it two days ago. My other apps are running fine. Any known bug, issue, or solution?

Thank you,

Brooke

Welcome to the forum.

You are unlikely to get an answer, here, because you replied to a post that already had an answer marked as solution.

Please create a new post.

Hello,

I have started to receive a very similar error: anvil.server.RuntimeUnavailableError: Could not launch server runtime - image build failed.

anvil.server.RuntimeUnavailableError: Could not launch server runtime - image build failed.

My application worked perfectly. I did not update the code, nor did I try to install new packages.

I opened a ticket: The server runtime for your app could not be built

Could it be the same problem?
