I think it's Railway issue. just now I tried to deploy but the build failed due to "Dockerfile does not exist" even though the dockerfile is clearly there, then I tried again by adding a new line in the dockerfile and the build does start properly (but now it's encountering NPM issue)

Same issue here. Deployments triggered via GitHub get stuck at INITIALIZING → "Taking a snapshot of the code..." indefinitely. Never reaches Build step.

What I've tried:

- Disconnected and reconnected GitHub repo in Railway Settings → Source

- Uninstalled and reinstalled Railway GitHub App (github.com/settings/installations)

- Railway App has "All repositories" access

- No webhook is created on my GitHub repo (Settings → Webhooks is empty)

- Cancelled stuck deployments and retried with fresh push

- Empty commits, force pushes — same result

- railway up via CLI worked but now that doesn't work either.

Service: Omniamus (api.omniamus.com)

Region: us-east4-eqdc4a

This started happening today ~60 min ago. Previously auto-deploy from GitHub worked normally.

Yea deployments were working fine until now. I have production issues to fix and my client are waiting on it.

Same

My deployments are going through now.

Thanks to everyone.
