What's the best/recommended way to modify the Postgres config on Railway (ideally, without creating a custom image)?

In what ways would you be looking to customize it?

You can't directly edit the postgresql.conf file (Maybe through SSH but definitely not recommended)

Can that be sent as a psql command or set through env vars?

Was looking into all that env vars can do yeah, I've had some people customize them through those
wouldn't be persisted over a restart, which is required after modifyng the config

True, so unfortunately a custom image is the best option here

looking through this but yeah https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres
custom image is the best bet
I wonder if there could be some middle ground where it has a startup script that writes a config to the disk on startup, from an environment variable

Yeah that sounds like it would be helpful here but no clue if Railway supports doing that
