you gotta give a whole lot more information

I understand. I have an application that is using Node JS and it interfaces with the X API to tokenize X posts. It works great locally, but I am now trying to place it online. I apologize as I am new with some of this, and I am used to simpler websites, so I am not really sure all the specifics. but I was trying to find someone I can talk to help me do it.

more information, what errors, what have you tried, what isnt working, etc etc

you're right. this is out of scope so to say. i am basically looking for a tutor. i have no errors because I don't know where to go. I apologize for wasting your time and I thank you for it. I was trying to find a non admin

very possible for someone non-admin to come help, im just trying to kick start the convo, admin or not, whoever may help you needs information

Have you read through Railway's quickstart guide? You're welcome to ask questions, but I won't be able to walk you through the entire process

https://docs.railway.com/quick-start

if you make a dockerfile on your github repo, it will deploy from the dockerfile

Thank you you are all extremely kind I will look into these resources

is there a ecosystem here where I could hire someone to help me set it up? like someone I can hire that can take a zip of a website that works locally and make it "work" online?

No, there is not. You'll need to put in some effort to get your site working

Have you read the quickstart docs? If so, send your repo here along with a screenshot of your project as it exists on Railway and any errors you may have

That’s totally understandable I’ve been working on it a lot and I’m getting closer. I have a working docker version of t he app and I am using railway CLI right now. I am motivated to do it myself. Just updating you. I have no specific questions yet. Thank you again for your time

I cannot overcome this

Nixpacks was unable to generate a build plan for this app.

context: a1b5c0b1fb7d30462d93acd245f733e6

full logs please

can you post your docker file?

they aren't using one

Wait, are you guys able to see our entire railway project from a project id?

is that how you know if we are using dockerfiles?

they just showed a log that said nixpacks…

Please send the full logs as well as your repo if possible

Can I upload a zip file? I am sorry I am new to this it is very confusing to me. My main issue is I am unable to use railway up and so I have been using chat gpt to manually make the docker file and upload it but I have a hard time getting it to detect changes. One time I updated it and it instantly knew. But now it’s been half an hour and whenever I update it nothing changes. I try deleting and re addding vissequ/xnft:latest but it ignores it

I don’t know how to send the logs besides copying paste and they are too long is there a way to download them?

Are you not storing your code in a Github repo? That should be your first step. the CLI is much more confusing to use than just connecting a Github repo

is there a reason you're not using Github?

CTRL/COMMAND + K --> Download Build Logs

No sir I am not using GitHub

I know it though I have an account

I will try to switch to GitHub

Command K download is not an option for me I think I’m unlucky lol!

Do you have a deployment selected?

I thought so. But I am trying now to switch to GitHub like you said.

Do I need to upload node modules to GitHub?

No, you do not

Ok I have now synced to GitHub

The log is too long to send here unfortunately

I will upload it as text

1319091735875424276

upload it as a txt file next time.

but is this a log file from railway?

oh my bad i did rtf. yes it is from xNFT Production logs on Railway

i had it working briefly, but i broke it accidentally by asking it to break the line after 4 words instead of 5, that doesn't really make any sense, so there's probably something else going on, but I'm just triyng to get it back to the code where it breaks the line after 5 words

if it is uploaded to github, can you post your github repo?

And did you deploy the github repo directly into railway?

yes but i set it to be private only. i'm bad at github and i don't know how to change that so give me a minute while i re upload

here is my repo sir https://github.com/vissequ/xnft4

Thanks for uploading it as a Github repo. Now, please create a new project on Railway as well as a new service from that repo.

okay I will do that now

i just select xnft4, not configure app right?

yes I beleive so I am reading the link from B rody

i did not see the deploy now or add variables option, my understanding is i must add my .env variables

but i know how to add them after

is it ok to add after?

You are correct. If you need to add environment variables, you can add them after selecting your Github repo

let me know if I am wrong.

My understanding is that the app is running, but is breaking at line 188. and line 94

We will get there eventually. First, let's finish setting up the app through Github

ok

i have added my .env variables

i am deploying now

you guys have very good support btw

thank you all for helping me

question.

if I put the ENV variables in docker, does that automatically change the env variables on the railway.app service?

So if i have this in my dockerfile on github

ENV PORT=3000

Does it update the service env variables automatically?

Railway's docs say to use the ARG command rather than the ENV command

https://docs.railway.com/guides/dockerfiles#using-variables-at-build-time

If you have questions that relate to your own deployment, please open a new help thread

oh my it appears to be working

this would be most wonderful news

i wish to make a change to a line of the code, if I update this in the GitHub will it automatically update on Railway?

Yes, that was the point of connecting your service to a repo

Glad to hear it

oh that's lovely!

i see why people use this then perhaps

yep, but You have to hit the deploy button, I don't think it does it automatically by default.

ohhh

That's not the case

oooo

the plot thickens

oh yeah i see it auto detcted

all i did was update in the github it auto detected the change

ok, I have to do it on my service, is it because I have other stuff going on?

Railway will automatically redeploy your service if any commits are pushed to the connected branch. The only scenario where it doesn't do this is if you have people pushing commits to your Github repo who are not added to your Railway project

If this is the case, you will need to approve any changes made

ok, that is the case for me.

I have a repo that is in a github organization, and I commit from a different account. So, I have to manually hit the deploy button when there is a new commit.

oh

that is why yes because that org is not in railway?

the orginization repo is on github, and is owned by the organization.

The repo is on railway service.

But all commits are done by individuals inside the organization, but not by the organization.

So I have to manually hit deploy, when there is a new commit. At least from what I understand.

If you're using Railway for an organization, you should be on the Pro plan. Once you upgrade, you can disable that check

I have the hobby plan on my personal railway account. But I also have the pro plan in another workspace.

If your deployment is working @vissequ, I'll be closing this thread

Please wait sir

I have one more thing to test if I may just a few minutes please

You can close this. Thank you so much!!!

Happy to help
