Does this even work?

I've just signed up to the Hobby plan and I've tried deploying 2 different templates.

  • Tolgee

    Would not deploy at all, over 20 minutes deploying the backend. No errors no logs. Tried multiple deployments

  • Infisical
    The Redis service kept crashing with the error "REDISPASSWORD environment variable is missing or empty" even though I've set it multiple times and redeployed.

For a platform that's supposed to be super easy and developer friendly I'm off to a bad start.

Hi there, I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. Please can you try out other templates?

For Tolgee, during depoyment, you can click on "view logs" to see the deployments running.

For the Infisical Redis issue, ensure that the "REDISPASSWORD" environment variable is correctly set and saved, and verify that it is being passed to the service during deployment.

I would also like to note that both of those templates have no affiliation with Railway, we do not maintain them as they are submitted by the community members, and therefore we cannot guarantee the deployability of them.

I understand that, but isn't this just a set pre-configured docker images and pre-set environment variables?
As I mentioned, the Tolgee "view logs" didn't show anything for over 20 minutes. How would a docker image not be deployable? A docker image is already built, a container can be created from it. Another thing is that the container fails during startup. That was not what was happening with the Tolgee service.

For the Infisical, as I mentioned, I did set the REDISPASSWORD enviornment variable and re-deployed multiple times. The container would keep saying the variable was missing or empty. This looks like more of an issue with the platform, than the template or docker image.

Again, this is not a great experience for you and we apologize for that. There are hundreds of templates that you can try that will work just fine.

Please try again with different ones.

I agree, it's not a great experience, but the issues you are facing are due to poor quality templates and misconfigurations at the service level, there are many things a template creator can do wrong, creating a good template takes skill and patience, we don't have any template moderation besides TOS so there are unfortunately a lot of poor quality templates.

Though the infisical template does come with a REDISPASSWORD variable, I just deployed it without issue.

I'm just looking to understand why would a template that's simply trying to create a container from a docker hub image (https://hub.docker.com/r/infisical/infisical) would fail.

I mean, I can create a container on my computer from that image.

Anyway, tried a different Infisical template and it worked this time.

Just wanted to understand since I've never seen a docker image that "cannot be deployable" in a platform that runs docker containers.

Unfortunately there is a lot a template creator can do wrong to give the end user a bad experience, it's not that simple to create a good template.
