Server size too big

[mrtechdavid]

Unable to deploy project because server size is too big and won't deploy

There are a couple causes I can think of off the top of my head.

1. When the repo is cloned, it also clones all of it's commit history
2. Repo is giant

Have you tried any other services besides cyclic and vercel? I've heard that render is a good alternative. If it is still too big, I would try downloading polaris as a zip file and then uploading the unzipped contents to a new repo. This should remove all commit history making the repo much smaller.

We are also planning to move most of the images to our assets repo, which will also help with the size issue.

Render doesn't allow proxies, and zipping it is still to large

Have you tried removing commit history?

How?

Download polaris as a zip file and then upload the unzipped contents to a new repo and try to deploy that.

[EnchantedDonutStudioz]

Did that, still too large

Is there a way to not exceed the server size on vercel without unzipping most files?

I'd assume they'd have safeguards to prevent that.

[Russell2259]

Most of the size is from the images folder. We're working on moving the images to our assets repo.

👍

[Russell2259]

We have migrated all of our images over to the assets repo. This should fix the size issue.

It is still way too big
512 MB total
Vercel only allows up to 250

[Russell2259]

The deployment size issue has been fixed. Vercel still does not support Polaris, though we're working on a version of Polaris that will be deployable to most hosting providers. Including vercel.
