Hi — my PostgreSQL service is stuck in a crash loop and I need help urgently. My database ran out of disk space during a bulk import. I've upgraded to the Hobby plan but the existing volume wasn't resized automatically. Postgres fails every restart with: FATAL: could not write to file "pg_wal/xlogtemp.41": No space left on device

The volume shows 433MB used. I need the volume expanded or a restore from backup to a new larger volume. My project is picket-line-web This is a production site that is currently down.

Can someone from the Railway team help? Thank you!!!

Click into the volume that’s mounted to your service, go to settings, and resize it.


Upgrading doesn’t automatically resize volumes.


Redeploy your service after.
