it looks like the strapi project crashes and restarts everytime i try to add an image

the deploy link above is not the successful deploy + failed image upload. it is a previous failed deploy

Only admins can use that Deploy link, Please attach your deployment logs using this https://bookmarklets.up.railway.app/log-downloader/

@brody
thanks for that link!

i just ran it in development mode on local and was able to upload an image.

OK! looking at cloudinary, it uploads the images.
but i am not able to see them in the strapi media library.

Are you using the strapi template provided by our community member Milo, that template comes with strapi properly configured.

i did use the strapi template, forked the strapi project so i could add different object types, and connected the strapi-side of the strapi templated project to my own forked branch.

does this make sense?

Did you fork the strapi template, or strapi's own github repo?

forked the strapi template

I know for a fact the strapi template works wonderfully, so there is a misconfiguration somewhere after the fork, can you double check you have all your service variables in order?

honestly, i don't really know what is going on.

it looks like i am now able to upload images. but, i can't run the develop anymore…..

Well, i think i figured out what i wasn't understanding! thanks for your help. i think this was a serious lack of understanding of railway on my part. BUT, your commentary above helped me work out my gaps. I really appreciate it!

Glad to hear that, but I think it would be good to note that you should never run strapi in development mode on Railway, I have seen countless users lose their data that way on account of the ephemeral storage, only ever run strapi in production when on Railway.

right! i wan't understanding the railway paradigm
i run it in dev mode on my local box and make the necessary changes to the objects, etc. i use railway up to deploy those to railway which is running in PROD mode.
now that the types have been updated in prod mode, i can add data there and everything.

correct me if i am wrong, but that makes the code base for strapi ephemeral itself since i clone that railway strapi repo, connect it to the project, make the changes, and then run railway up
--that means I dont need to keep the code around on my own computer, right?
The changes I made, after being deployed will be retained if i clone the railway repo again because connecting to the project with railway link makes the necessary updates locally?
