context: we are migrating from aws to railway

so images are in ecr

im told that railway supports private registries

i just cant figure out where it is

You'd have to be on the Pro plan to use private registries.
https://docs.railway.com/guides/services#deploying-a-private-docker-image

we are in the pro plan

this one deploys a standalone private image

but our dockerfile pulls private images (so need auth)

They ask asking about private images that are defined via FROM in a Dockerfile, something we do not support.

yeah…

I might have a workaround on this but I would need to test it first

would it be better to just have one dockerfile

and layers will be just cached right

Yeah we will cache layers

so only the first build should be slow and subsequent builds will be very fast already

ok o

Yes, or if we cycle the builder that previously ran your build.

We don't have a global cache for builders yet.

I will try to put together my workaround, I'll test with GHCR

one min

hmmm

looks like i can't use single dockerfile

have a dependency that we bake in a base image

so yarn installing it won't work

hmm not sure how we would make this work <:think:1169350591718379670>

my workaround didn't work

it was basically logging with the docker-cli on a step in the dockerfile before pulling the private image

had to give it a try

yeah

my end can't get it to work too

i guess the journey is over before it even started
