• 📚 Migrate from Render to Railway

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

It seems that the Railway CLI does not have a direct command for creating databases, i cant do it through GitLab.

Domain configuration must be done through the Dashboard?

These operations cannot be automated via the API?

you can directly add these via the CLI, check railway docs here that support it through the PAT. once creating the respective service, you can connect to it through the public network and configure it

Thanks for the reply.

I actually referred to that page before and tried it myself with AI assistance, however it still doesn't work for me.

I wonder if there is any working script that can be shared. Thanks in advance.

Unauthorized. Please login with `railway login

hey, so I did it and it was fairly simple, just follow these steps:

railway login --browserless

railway link

railway add -> select postgres

railway service -> connect to your existing service created above

railway status / railway variables (--json) if you want to see it in different formats.

youre getting unauthorized, please login with railway login because you arent logged in / not authenticated. you can attempt to do it via browserless. you can easily automate these if you wish via a script

i am using gitlab pipline...

youre not passing your account/team's token like specified in railway's docs for a pipeline, RAILWAY_API_TOKEN=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.

then your pipeline should work fine if everything else configured correctly.

browserless only works via the CLI - you should really read the docs ive linked

thanks for reply

RAILWAY_TOKEN will read the variable setup in my GItLab CICD which has the correct token and it is already passed.

i actualy already tested all method mentioned in the docs you shared, tested with Railway login, CLI, API, no luck.. thanks.
