I saw the railway.json option, my question is that can I have two of them.

One for node and other for go service?

you can have two yes, but first can you tell me about your file structure?

It's kind of messy structure, as of now.

/app
 // all go code
/src
 // all node code
/package.json
/pnpm-lock.yaml
/Dockerfile

Did I missed any file, which needs to be mentioned?

looks easy enough to deploy, do you already have two blank railway services

I have a node service already running on prod.

Now, I am trying to add a go service.

and that Dockerfile, that's for the go app right? it has nothing to do with node?

That Dockerfile is for the node

do you have a dockerfile for the go app, or are you going to let nixpacks try and build it?

It would be nice to use Docker.

What I can try is to have two railway.json file.

For example

• railway.node.json in (src directory)

• railway.go.json in (app directory)

Will something like this work? Just a rough idea 🤷‍♂️

yes it can work, but I don't currently see a need for the difference of names, but one thing at a time here.

do you have a Dockerfile for the go app? or have you yet to write one?

I have yet to write one

in the mean time, do you think nixpacks would be able to build your go app?

I was able to run 2 different services from single repo, using railway.json file.

Thanks for the help. 🙂

no problem!

Continuing on the same ticket.

Now, I ran into similar issue. Where I have set the app sleep to disable for production, but how can I enable it for non-production environment.
Since I ham using railway.json file, I am not able to modify the settings manually for non-prod env.

I tried looking into the docs, for PR Environment Overrides

{
  "environments": {
    "pr": {
      "deploy": {
        "startCommand": "echo 'start command for all pull requests!'"
      }
    }
  }
}

But railway.json schema is not showing any linting for this object.

yeah it doesn't have schema validation for this, but it should still work.. does it not work?

I am getting this error in the railway dashboard.

Failed to parse JSON file railway.node.json: invalid character '}' looking for beginning of object key string

The actual config, I used.

  "environments": {
    "testing": {
      "deploy": {
        "sleepApplication": true
      }
    }
  }

Here testing is an environment in railway not a PR branch name from git.

that's your full railway.json?

Here's the full json file.

{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "DOCKERFILE",
    "dockerfilePath": "node.Dockerfile",
    "buildEnvironment": "V2"
  },
  "deploy": {
    "runtime": "V2",
    "numReplicas": 1,
    "sleepApplication": false,
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
  },
  "environments": {
    "testing": {
      "deploy": {
        "sleepApplication": true
      }
    }
  }
}

I'll have to do some testing and get back to you

works as intended -
