Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Dockerfile Dockerfile does not exist when deploying directus cms

• 🧵 column 9827483463398fbb7d6b96916fe451d8bdefa0e8.role does not exist

• 🧵 There was an error deploying from source. Dockerfile not detected

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Can you share what you have your root directory set to as well as the repository if possible?

If the repository is private, please share the Dockerfile.

railway.toml and the env variable direct to backend/Dockerfile

[build]

builder = "DOCKERFILE"

dockerfilePath = "backend/Dockerfile"

root is the appropriate directory

1 yea, i explored that exhaustively: root directory
/

(razzberry-backend)/backend/Dockerfile (root is the appropriate folder)

2 i am doing this on windows (wsl ubuntu), but had been in powershell/vs code (powershell, git, and wsl ubuntu. kinda migrated between)

but should that matter? i mean, railway is going off github, which i always thought of as OS agnostic, and it just matters that the syntax to the appropriate language is accurate

3 yea, checked that as well. checked to make sure its not still a pending commit, etc.

i dont mind adding as a collaborator to view, otherwise the attached screenshot may help somewhat

nvm, still have the issue, though ti did away with it

Have you tried removing the railway.toml value and setting the root directory to just /backend?
