Deploy do Backend na Railway

1299779965759262851

what seems to be the issue?

Well, you could skip the entire install node/cli part by using the docker image directly

Also, you need to provide service name using the respective flag

I am looking to create a script with CI to deploy just the backend on railway. I created a Monorepo and the frontend is on vercel and backend should be in Railway

two major differences are:

1. use docker image directly instead of installing the cli via npm

2. --service flag that tells to which service to deploy

Awesome I will 😄

well, this should work without an issue

this is how I deploy my stuff to railway

you'd only need to update working directory to the one containing your actual code

Run railway up --project=1838b8e6-6a84-4a60-9033-3b38888c4746
error: unexpected argument '--project' found

tip: to pass '--project' as a value, use '-- --project'

Usage: railway up [OPTIONS] [PATH]

For more information, try '--help'.
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

I received this error on Github CI terminal

may I ask what's the --project argument doing there?

I don't think the cli even has an arg like that

when running in ci mode you need to provide project token with RAILWAY_TOKEN env var and a service name with --service argument

Run railway up --service=1838b8e6-6a84-4a60-9033-3b38888c4746
Service not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

honestly I don't remember if we support account-scoped access tokens and setting project id via a flag atm

you need to use service name, not it's id

because at the time when I was working on fixing ci mode, adding support for that would involve rewriting too much stuff

Great, helped me. I will change here

could i ask why you arent using the default Railway's build system?

I would like to make a CI in a Monorepo send a project Next to Vercel and Backend on Railway

real

unbelievable but there are people who don't deploy everything to railway

but you can deploy a monorepo on Railway

Okay so do you have a example of CI like a file I sent here?

umm if you wanna use monorepo support you don't need to configure gh actions, it's configured in railway dashboard

you gotta link a repo to a service first, and then play with the settings a bit

The deploy didn't work using github/actions

I would like to understand better,and I tried a lot to learn how solve it.

But I quit haha I have been try to deploy using countinous integrations and I believe is really hard to deploy.

Thank you everybody to try help me.

Hello @maddsua, how are you? Could we talk about the deploy again?

hey, im still confused on why you're not using the Railway's build system.
do you want to run tests and everything before deploying?

Thalles I am using Railway

But with CI

I need to deploy just the backend on Railway.app

And I used the interface settings and follow the steps

but didn't work

what steps went wrong while trying this?
https://docs.railway.com/guides/monorepo
you dont need a CI at all for deploying a specific app inside a monorepo

I follow this link before

i deploy my backend on Railway and nextjs app on vercel with that

I changed the settings properly

what issues did you have then?

are you using turborepo?

the ci on github actions is that

On the railway is the other picture

wait a secound

thats the thing, you dont need Github Actions at all for this

So I follow the link before that

and didn't work again

what i have to change?

Deploy is npm run start:build

ok lets start from the beginning, are you using turborepo?

No I am not using turborepo. I createad using workspaces

created*

But is not a problem. Because the deploy on vercel is working

I would like to use the same with Railway

without learn other tool or method

1309267777424719942

I would like to use the same idea that is working on vercel

If Railway doesn't have support I believe is not about my idea

I followed this link before

https://blog.railway.com/p/github-actions

ok, pretty sure you dont need --auto-approve then

railway up should just get your code and push it

Yeah but didn't work

if you want your Github Actions to wait for your build to complete, you can use --ci

what didnt worked?

Is there some example that I could follow?

none that i know

I got it. I will try again

But is hard back and back the same issue

Deploy should be easy

feel you, unfortunately there's no example right now
and that blog post is outdated

hey im confused with what's not working here. is --auto-approve even a real argument?

no, he's following an outdated blog post

if you push from the cli railway has no way of applying any git contributor restrictions

oh, Brody is about to publish an updated version

yeah, confused on what issue he's getting

also, since the cli now has it's own docker image, there's no need to use npm

much cleaner

🤌

im with thalles on this, i dont know why you need railway up here, attach the repo to your railway service and set the correct config

Well, it's very confusing and it seems like I'm not being clear in the way I'm explaining the problem.

My intention was to do a continuous integration using github actions, that's the goal.

From what I understand, I need to go to the platform to get the token and insert it into my github actions. However, when I do the deployment, the service is not created on the platform and there are several impediments, whether command or support.

The big question, have you managed to do the deployment the way I'm describing?

If so, do you have any example files that I can analyze the codes for, or do you want mine to analyze?

I don't use turbo repo, but workspaces in the package.json of the root folder. In vercel, a small frontend test worked, I tried to put the backend there and it didn't work, so I wanted to fix it in another location, which would be the railroad.

But no other platform is helping me with this specific problem. Did you manage to see the problem?

you can simply have railway wait on your CI -

I don't see why railway up is needed, sorry

I just followed the other link on the blog. Okay I remove this command. So I only need to run deploy again?

is the source of your service your GitHub repo?

I can only share the file

i'm sorry but we are all just repeating ourselves and getting nowhere, we all wish you good luck as you solve this!

Thank you
