Can't Deploy Static Sites Using Zola

1

Deploying a static site using the static site generate Zola (https://www.getzola.org/) results in the following error:

==> Running build command 'zola build'...
zola: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by zola)
zola: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.26' not found (required by zola)
==> Build failed 😞

When I set up the project, Render automatically detected that I was using Zola, suggesting that Zola should be supported.

Hi there,

It looks like the prebuilt release of Zola we use (v0.14.1) isn’t compatible with our static site environment. We should fix this or remove Zola as an option.

As a workaround, you could try first building it from the source as we have cargo in our static site environment (though this will add around 5 minutes to your build time). Create a build script something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bashgit clone https://github.com/getzola/zola.gitcd zolacargo install --path . --locked export PATH=$(pwd)/target/release/zola:$PATHcd -zola build

Hey, thanks for the advice. Could you explain how to use this script?

When I tried inputting the command in the build command input, it didn’t take 5 minutes – it just completed instantly and reported success, but actually nothing was built and it just deployed an empty folder.

Hi there,

Can you please add this to a script, for example render-build.sh and commit and push that to your GitHub repo and then use ./render-build.sh as the build command.
