N/A

we have a minio template, so deploying that would really only be a few clicks, same for postgres, then it's just up to you to deploy your repo with your Django app

i’ve been using docker compose for this and in my django settings as well as other place i need to have all the information for the app right will i get the new information from railway and put it in settings from an env i’m trying to figure out what is going to happen to my docker here does it just evaporate and was a test env

railway doesn't use docker compose, so it just wouldn't do anything, you would need to configure your railway service with all the needed environment variables and whatnot

ok ok

so yea like i’m picturing it just evaporates cause it becomes useless out my system

Does your Django app already use environment variables for config? like database credentials and the MinIO endpoint?

right now it’s all in settings.py and docker compose some of it

but when i deployed i was gonna put it in env for the secret ones yea

is it a bad idea? i don’t know how to do it a different way lol

so you are hardcoding everything into settings.py?

for at least some security

yea

i do that for security

there is even more secure ways apparently

it’s in case someone gets their hands on settings.py

somehow

that's far less secure lol

you think so?

hardcoding sensitive information yes

so you would just keep it in settings?

as strings

no, as just mentioned thats very insecure, you need to use environment variables

oh bro we are saying the same thing lol

so get that done before you worry about deployment

then you retrieve the env vars from settings yea that’s what i’m saying were saying the same thing on that, but i was also going to retrieve the env vars for docker but you told me i don’t need docker anymore

so they will all be pulled by settings

well i’m going to setup the env soon and then try to deploy it to railway see what happens

and minio as well as postgres settings

yeah deploy those first, then deploy an empty service, setup the variables needed, then attach your repo

aaaaah i got my confusion

i need to setup the vars for when i use them in docker right every time i docker compose up build

i thought i was retrieving them there for some reason

what getting off the screen for 5 minutes does to the brain

no no they're set on the service, and those are injected into the environment

yea yea

that

i thought i was retrieving them in docker compose

instead of injecting them

which i prob can but why would you

like i can retrieve my systems or a environments variables in the docker compose then inject them in the docker variable but why would i do that

you can't even if you wanted to, railway has zero concept of docker compose

well i used docker so long for this for my local env and containers i have blurred it with django i had to unmix it

now i get what is happening hahahaha

awesome

after a few painful hours i got it to deploy and retrieve css/js now i need to improve minio access policies and a lot of settings and api settings

happy to hear that!

thanks i sorta slammed it there is still so much to do at least 5 hours of work i would say before it’s working the way i want it to

but now i know it is capable to at least

im sure youve learnt a lot in the process
