oh it doesn't put me in the shell on the VPS? <:Facepalm:1182373892455678132>

nope, railway is also a container environment, not VPS

Yeah - sorry. I meant container.

So I have a Docker image that I am running, I added a Storage to it and trying to create a config in the storage. Is that possible?


a year ago

you mean a volume?

Yes - sorry <:Facepalm:1182373892455678132> (not using the right lingo, long day)

how often will this config file need to be modified?


a year ago

Never (or very rarely)


a year ago

does your app save info into this config file?


a year ago

nope just reads from it. e.g. what to log and the format.


a year ago

does it hold sensitive data?


a year ago

Nope - I am running an inbound MTA (Kumo) and the Config is just around what domains to accept mail from, and what to log, and the format to send the Webhook in.


a year ago

can the config file be placed in your repo?


a year ago

I could potentially go that route honestly


a year ago

Update - that path worked, pretty easy and simply. Can't believe I didn't think of that <:Facepalm:1182373892455678132>
