The public link should not be an HTTP link. What button are you pressing to generate it?

If you own a domain you should use that for both the frontend and backend, with the backend having a subdomain. (For example backend.example.com)

If not then you can press the generate domain button and that will give you a usable HTTPS link

i do have a domain i own, and i'm currently hosting my frontend on netlify

Perfect

i bought the domain from namecheap, and i'm using their nameservers instead of namecheaps

Vercel's nameservers?

netlify

I would just use Cloudflare here

I didn't even know Netlify had nameservers

i just made a cloudflare account

would it be easier to just host it on there?

there's not much its doing

The domain? Yes.

ok so i was able to host my domain on cloudflare, just waiting on it to change nameservers and stuff

Hoorah

so i setup subdomains on cloudflare, and then link it to railway?

Yeah

Go into the backend's service settings and use backend.example.com

It'll instruct you

Then on your frontend you can call backend.x

gotcha

waiting on the dns to update

so once its all done, its up and ready to go?

It should be yes 😁

The name servers might take a few hours to update but over all it'll work!

Yerp! Should be basically instant with Cloudflare as well.

@oncle97 Did you get this working?
