Hello,

I wish to deploy a Postgres service in the EU West (Amsterdam, Netherlands) region, however, the only option available to me is US West (Oregon, USA).

Is it possible to do this on a Hobby plan?

Cheers!

Yes, this is possible on the hobby plan. Please make sure that you have enabled the metal volumes feature flag under https://railway.com/account/feature-flags.

For creating a new Postgres database in the EU metal region with the hobby plan, you can just deploy it from the dashboard and depending on the scenario, do the following:

  • If the newly deployed Postgres database is in a non metal region, you can migrate it to the EU metal region under Settings > Regions.

  • If the newly deployed Postgres database is in a different metal region, you will have to delete the attached volume first, change the Postgres database's region to the EU metal region under Settings > Regions, apply the changes, reattach the volume (mount path /var/lib/postgresql/data) and finally apply the changes again. This is because metal to metal volume migrations are not available yet. Alternatively, it is also possible to migrate the database back to non metal US west and then migrate it to the EU metal region.

I enabled the Metal Volume feature flag and that allowed me to change the deployment region of the database to the EU West metal server, cheers!
