Site not building suddenly

[jordanurbs]

I can't tell if it's a DNS issue (already tried purging Cloudflare cache + re-syncing DNS from Cloudron) or a git issue but suddenly my github pages app will not update with my git repo.

In the logs of my newest app attempt:

Listening on port 3000
Using git repo at /app/data/repo.git
Serving up directory /app/data/website
git: info {}
git: push {}
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/data/website/404.html'
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/data/website/404.html'
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/app/data/website/404.html'

and on and on that error goes...

This is a static HTML site that was working just fine before it stopped working.

Any clues?

@jordanurbs have you checked in the File Manager or Terminal if that file path still exists? Permissions?

@jordanurbs Does it work if you create an empty 404.html file as the error suggests?

[jordanurbs]

@girish I created a 404.html both in the file manager and in the git repo---nothing.

@robi checked I took a look in the file manager & terminal and there were no clues as to why the repo was there but the files were not

I did find a workable solution: I ended up cloning the repo into /app/data/ and then renaming the directory to 'website' and now it's live again.

I seem to have to pull manually from the app's terminal though, and can't just push to the 'page' remote from my local machine. Is there a git command I can use in the /app/data/website directory to have it stay synced to the 'page' remote like the cloudron app should be doing anyway?
