I suppose you can expose the port you need in the dockerfile and then select the same port in the network tab

How do I edit the dockerfile? Can I edit the docker file for a service?

Also I don't want this db to be public, I only want it to be used internally so I don't really want to expose it tbh!

probably I misunderstood, looking at the dockerfile of this image it already exposes the ports 8080 and 5001.

If you need a public url you should be able to create a random url and map it to the port you need (8080) using the railway UI (Network->Public Networking).

If you want to connect to the db from an internal service in the internal network you should be able to just use the internal host (you can see the host here: Network->Provate network) and use the port 8080 or 5001

I believe that to gain internal access, you only need to enter the internal railway address followed by the port:

e.g., nginx-prod.railway.internal:8080

Ah yeah ok, so when I put the port that does work! Thank you, I'm not sure why it wasn't requesting the port before but oh well!

can I you resolve the question so one of us get the bounty?

Thanks for this - I was missing the port. Threw me off because the public networking includes port mapping.
