I read this thread, but couldn't figure out either.
https://station.railway.com/questions/cannot-add-a-new-database-service-on-met-8f2f0adb
Seems like it's possible, but I cannot figure it out. Hmm.
How can I move my existing services with a volume to Metal? Or, at least, how can I create a service with a volume on Metal? I don't see Metal in the dropdown when deploying a database. Otherwise, it shows all Metals. Very confusing.

Doesn't show Metal in the Regions dropdown. (It's now showing other regions either from today. That's weird...)

@oksure It took me some figuring out, but I managed to get a volume on metal.
You cannot switch a volume to metal yet, but Postgres is created in US West with a volume by default.
1. Create a Postgres DB
- Delete attached volume
- Deploy changes
- Switch Postgres service to metal region
- Attach volume (data path: /var/lib/postgresql/data)
