Description:

Service: evolution-api

Project: humble-manifestation

Region: sfo

Image: atendai/evolution-api:v1.8.7

Problem: 7+ consecutive deployments failing since July 3rd

  • Error: "Failed to create deployment" at CREATE_CONTAINER stage
  • Last successful deployment: June 24th (still running)
  • No configuration or image changes since then
  • No build/deploy logs generated

What I've tried:

  • Multiple redeploy attempts
  • Reverted AUTHENTICATION_API_KEY to original value
  • Changed AUTHENTICATION_API_KEY to different values
  • All fail identically

This is clearly a Railway infrastructure issue.

I take a look on other threads hours ago and the mod says that the image is moved to evoapicloud/evolution-api, try change the docker source with this new image

The reason why theres no errors from build and deploy logs is probably because it is failed to pull the image which is now moved

are there any error messages from build or deploy logs?

No, there are no error messages in either build or deploy logs. Both are completely empty. The failure happens at the CREATE_CONTAINER stage before the container even starts, so no logs are generated at all.

This confirms it's an infrastructure-level issue — the Railway system cannot even attempt to create the container for this deployment.

I found that the image was moved from atendai/evolution-api to evoapicloud/evolution-api. I've updated the source image to evoapicloud/evolution-api:v1.8.7 and triggered a redeploy.

However, the deployment still failed at CREATE_CONTAINER stage with the same error. The service configuration now shows the correct new image (evoapicloud/evolution-api:v1.8.7), but the system is still trying to use the old one (atendai/evolution-api:v1.8.7).

This suggests there may be a caching or synchronization issue on Railway's side, or the new image repository is also inaccessible for some reason.

You can disable the cache by adding NO_CACHE=1 to the service variables

You can disable the cache by adding `NO_CACHE=1` to the service variables

I added NO_CACHE=1 to the service variables and triggered a redeploy, but it still failed at CREATE_CONTAINER stage.

The service configuration shows the correct new image (evoapicloud/evolution-api:v1.8.7), but the deployment is still trying to use the old image (atendai/evolution-api:v1.8.7). Even with cache disabled, this isn't picking up the new configuration.

This seems like a deeper synchronization issue on Railway's infrastructure.

can you share the screenshot of deploy logs from your latest deployment?

Try redeploy source image maybe? open the command palette (Ctrl+K) and select "Redeploy source image", this should pull the image

There are no deploy logs at all. The logs are completely empty. The failure happens at the CREATE_CONTAINER stage, so no logs are generated before the container creation fails.

Try redeploy source image, usually this will pull the fetch image

Thank you! The redeploy worked perfectly. The deployment is now successful.

Status: SUCCESS

  • SNAPSHOT_CODE: ✅ completed
  • CREATE_CONTAINER: ✅ completed
  • CONFIGURE_NETWORK: ✅ completed
  • DRAIN_INSTANCES: ✅ completed

The evolution-api service is now running with the correct image (evoapicloud/evolution-api:v1.8.7).
