I have been trying to deploy my first Fast API from my github to Railway.app but it is failing all the time.

I followed this
https://docs.railway.com/guides/fastapi

but still not sure what I am doing wrong

This is the error message

Error: Docker build failed

and my Docker file looks like this

FROM python:3-alpine

WORKDIR /app

Copy local code to the container image

COPY . .

Install project dependencies

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

Run the web service on container startup

CMD ["uvicorn", "smartsynch.api.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000"]

What am I doing wrong?

Is it something in the Service Settings maybe that I am missing?

Providers is set to Python, my Custom Command Build is "pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt" and Custom Start Command is "python3 -m uvicorn smartsynch.api.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT"

Any help very much appreciated!
