The railway run ls .certs/ command outputs private.pem public.pem.

But the deploy logs still say Private key not set. Make sure .certs/private.pem exists!

I think u are misunderstanding how railway run works

Yeah possible hahaha

By "my app throws an error" are you saying locally or the one hosted on railway?

The one hosted on railway

Then u misunderstood how the command works

https://docs.railway.app/guides/cli#local-development

Oh… well

Tbh that's very common

Hmm, but still not sure how I could create that directory in my deployment

I mean I can't put the .certs/ dir out of my .gitignore

Well, looks like the enviroment variables support multiple lines, so I may just put the certs there

Railway handle certs automatically if ur talking about ssl certs

Nah its private and public key for my jwt's

how often do they change? (the certs)

basically never

put them onto a volume then

I've put them in a enviroment variable, works pretty well

or is that unsecure for some reason?

that is far from ideal, not because it's insecure, but simply because it's not how it should be done or what environment variables are used for

Hmm, yeah, I see

I guess I'll leave them there for now, the project is just an mvp right now, if people like it I'll change it

but thanks guys!

deploy this
upload the files
move the volume over to the correct service
profit
