Hello Railway Support,
I’m trying to recover data from a persistent volume attached to my Minecraft server service.
Project: lovely-enthusiasm
Environment: production
Service: itzg/minecraft-server-o8UL
Service ID: 941079a5-205f-41c3-9393-e10a95d0bd6d
Deployment ID: 18b4f708-df28-4f4b-b1c5-95691b663fbd
Project ID: 983e119f-0140-4455-b681-576b0fd0e605
The attached volume still exists:
- itzg/minecraft-server-volume-b5VE
- Mounted at /data
- Size: approximately 1.6 GB
However, my workspace reached its compute hard limit, so railway redeploy fails with:
Usage limit exceeded. Please increase or remove the hard limit to resume resource provisioning.
Because there is no active deployment, both of these commands fail:
railway volume browse /data
railway volume files download ...
with:
Service itzg/minecraft-server-o8UL has no active deployment in environment production.
Deploy or restart the service before using file commands.
I only need to recover the data stored in the persistent volume (specifically my Minecraft world). Is there any way for you to:
- Temporarily allow access to the volume for download,
- Mount the volume to a temporary deployment,
- Or provide another method to export the contents without requiring me to redeploy the service?
The volume still appears in my project, so I’m hoping the data is still intact.
Thank you for your help.

You can change your workspace limits at .
Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to increase or remove the workspace usage limit because my trial has expired, so I can’t resume deployments.
My main concern isn’t restarting the service. I only want to recover the data from the persistent volume (itzg/minecraft-server-volume-b5VE), which still appears to exist in my project.
Is there any way you can help me export the contents of the volume, temporarily mount it for recovery, or provide another way to access it without requiring me to upgrade or redeploy?
I’d really appreciate any assistance, as this volume contains my Minecraft world and I’d like to recover it if possible.
