Hit endpoint on an internal service

I have a server deployed in a Railway project as a private service. I want to do a quick test of the server by sending a curl request to the health_check endpoint, but from what I can see, I can't do that without exposing it to the public internet.

Is there any way to hit an endpoint on an internal service, either through logging in via the Railway CLI or through the console interface? It may not be possible without generating a domain and exposing it publicly, but I wanted to ask just in case there was a path I could take for this. Just looking for a simple sanity check that the deployed server is running as expected.

So I actually just found out about the health check feature: https://docs.railway.com/guides/healthchecks-and-restarts

That is what I am using now, and will probably work best for me. Still, curious if there are any other ways to ping an internal service without exposing.


If you need access to the private network locally or from another external service, the recommended way right now is to use Tailscale (https://docs.railway.com/tutorials/set-up-a-tailscale-subnet-router)
