it's very likely you are trying to run a development server.

is this angular 16 or 17?

Angular 17

client-side rendered, or server-side rendered?

Client-side rendered

take a look at this template https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/angular-starter

remove any start or build commands you may have set in the service settings, then copy the nixpacks.toml and Caddyfile from this repo into your project.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake, it's angular 15.

I'm managing multiple versions in my local machine, and for somehow, the project seems to be generated with angular 15.

Thanks for sharing the repo, let me check.

hmm, I only have examples for angular 14 CSR, 16 CSR, 17 CSR, and 17 SSR.

https://github.com/brody192/angular-14-crud-example

so give the nixpack.toml and Caddyfiles from this repo a try instead, as 14 is likely far closer to 15 than my 17 example is.

Is ok, I have intentions of develop this project with angular 17 SSR, so I'm taking the necessary measures.

for Angular 17 SSR there is this example https://github.com/brody192/angular-starter-ssr

and the info on what needs to change can be found here https://github.com/brody192/angular-starter-ssr#user-content--what-was-changed-from-the-default-angular-17-server-side-rendered-example

Hi Brody, I followed the steps described in this section, https://github.com/brody192/angular-starter-ssr#user-content--what-was-changed-from-the-default-angular-17-server-side-rendered-example, but now I'm facing another issue:

Error: Cannot find module '/app/dist/x-gossip-ui/server/main.js'

It seems the build command is not running automatically, any advice?

as long as you have a build script it will be ran unless you have set something somewhere else, for me to be able to offer you the best help it would be great if I could see your repo.

Well I just fixed the issue I just shared before, I didn't set the build & start commands properly in my Build and Deploy railway configurations.

Here it is the Github repo. I'm testing in dev environment at the moment.

https://github.com/rick002/x-gossip-ui

https://github.com/rick002/x-gossip-ui

looks like this is setup to do SSR? or at least serve the app from the inbuilt server, in that case the nixpacks.toml and Caddyfile aren't applicable since I was under the impression that this all was CSR.

what are you current build and start commands you have set in the railway service settings?

Build -> npm run build:ssr
Deploy -> npm start

npm run build:ssr looks like it builds and runs the server, you likely want to use npm run build aka the default railway would be using if left unset. start script looks fine though.

Oh rai, checking…

Now I'm getting the following -> Error: Cannot find module '/app/dist/x-gossip-ui/server/main.js'

my bad, you do indeed want npm run build:ssr as the build command, and npm run start as the start command

Yep, now the web page is responding.

https://x-gossip-ui-dev.up.railway.app/

Tell me, is it any difference between npm run start and npm start in the context of a railway deployment?

Because in the end, it seems to be the only difference.

theres no difference in any context.

Then why it was not working properly with this configuration?

Build -> npm run build:ssr Deploy -> npm start

I just deployed your code with npm run build:ssr as the build command, and npm run start as the start command, it works.
changed the start command to npm start and it still works, so the issue was some other misconfiguration, I am not sure what though.

I don't know either, the only explanation is that I put the correct configurations but I assumed that it didn't work without having restarted the deployment and I didn't even notice it.

Thanks Brody.

Is it ok if we exchange our telegram contacts? I would like to get to know you better and learn a lot more from you.

happy to help!

I don't think we need to exchange information, if you have questions about railway or deploying something on railway you can always open another thread and myself or another community member will help!
