It seems that missing theme files on GitLab deployment, add a Docker command in Dockerfile to install the theme, for example, when installing the theme as Git submodule, add the following command above the `hugo` command.

```plaintext
RUN git submodule update --init --recursive

```

It depends how do you install the theme, could you share your repo if possible?

Repo is here: [Verbis Help](https://gitlab.kpsys.cz/verbis/verbis-help/)

You have to switch to Build branch.

It’s slow to clone the repo, but I’ve looked into the source code, the theme was published as a NPM package, you should install the theme via:

```auto
RUN npm install

```

And then you should be able to build the site via `hugo ...`.

This is what UI sad me that is the problem.

```auto
The error message you provided indicates that there was a problem installing the Hugo binary using the Hugo Installer. The specific error is "An error occured while verifiy the binary health. Details: spawn node_modules/.bin/hugo/hugo ENOENT". This means that the Hugo binary could not be found at the specified location.

There are a few possible reasons for this error:

The Hugo binary was not downloaded successfully.
The Hugo binary was downloaded but is corrupted.
The Hugo binary was extracted to the wrong location.
The Hugo binary is missing dependencies.
To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following:

Make sure that the Hugo Installer has permission to download and extract the Hugo binary.
Try running the Hugo Installer again.
Try downloading the Hugo binary manually and placing it in the correct location.
Make sure that the Hugo binary has all of its dependencies installed.
If you are still having trouble, you can try searching for help online or contacting the Hugo support team.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting npm install errors:

Make sure that you are using the latest version of npm.
Try running npm install with the -v flag to enable verbose logging. This can help you to identify the specific cause of the error.
Try running npm install with the -f flag to force npm to reinstall all packages.
If you are still having trouble, try searching for help online or contacting the package developer.

```

The site installs Hugo via NPM, see [Blame · package.json · build · verbis / Verbis Help · GitLab](https://gitlab.kpsys.cz/verbis/verbis-help/-/blame/build/package.json#L37)

If you’re using the Docker images to build the site, you don’t need to the `postinstall` script, see how to disable the on [node.js - npm: disable postinstall script for package - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/68865402).
