Hi,
I'm trying to call /multisearch on my typesense service. However, with the template deployed from railway's template marketplace, i get a 404 error.
Therefore, I'd like to modify the railway.toml for me to be able to deploy 2 services.
With my current mental model, I think there are 2 approaches:
Add a new service to my
railway.tomlso that it can deploy to railway? I got a bunch of errors here in the past, so curious if this is possible.

also, interested in developing better mental modles for complex railway.toml files. If there is an example of multiple services deployed with one railway.toml file , i would be interested in taking a look

Hello,
railway.toml/json files are to configure a single service only, what you showed is not supported syntax as this time.
I see, what is the best way to deploy 2 of these services through code instead of GUI?
i have a readcv-api backend service and a typesense service

I think you are thinking in Heroku world, where they encourage you to deploy multiple applications within the same dyno, but on Railway, it is best practice to deploy multiple applications into multiple services.
makes sense, so is there a code version for setting up multiple apps into multiple services
how can this be done with a script?
https://docs.railway.com/tutorials/deploying-a-monorepo
or is this the only / best way to do it?

We currently do not have any way to define multiple services in a config-as-code file. Deploying multiple services would be a manual process.
I'll follow the manual guide and let you know if i have more issues
this cleared up my mental model a lot!

Awsome!
how do i ensure that TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR="${{RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH}}" is created?
i'm trying to copy over the typesense template into one of my own folders in my repo and deploying it as a separate service, but it's getting BUILD errors

How do you ensure that the variable or the path gets created?
