Pull file from github but prevent full redeploy - is it possible?

How To
1

My koyeb app pulls from a github repo with autodeploy.

There is a Github Action which runs once a day and updates a single file which is used in the app - a simple json data file. When this occurs, GH pushes said file back into the repo - and when this occurs, koyeb does a full redeploy. Normal behavior.

What I was hoping to achieve was stop koyeb from doing a full redeploy when this occurs (achievable with .koyebignore file targetting said json) BUT i still want koyeb to get the new/updated file so that the app has the updated data. Just without doing a full redploy. But maybe that’s inherently not possible?

Am I being stupid? Is this intrinsically not possible without a redeploy? Hope I’m making sense here.

Hi,

This is unfortunately not possible. The updated file cannot be provided to the service without a full redeployment.

You could adjust your service to fetch the file content from your GitHub repo periodically so that you can access the updated data.
