Not sure what the right setup should look like, I also am doing deploys manually from dockerfile and not from repo

Not sure what best setup is but reason I was using dockerfile was to install chromium for scraper service in docker and some other necessary stuff

in both services, I have a deploy command I'd like to work

"deploy": "railway up --service scraper"

https://docs.railway.com/guides/monorepo

did u take a look at this?

I did

I'm not sure if I'm structuring project correctly

I have one project, and multiple services

where the project should be built im assuming each app should have their own builds and start commands

I deployed the api just fine but now that I've made the scraper service im not sure how to structure dockerfile and railway.toml

my assumption was that api & scraper have their own dockerfile and railway.toml but then the dockerfile doesnt have scope of the shared packages

but if I have a root directory dockerfile the builds for both services are different

why not have multiple dockerfiles at the root?

I just realized I could do that

so then would the railway.toml exist at the app level?

so say apps/scraper has a railway.toml

builder = "DOCKERFILE"
dockerfilePath = "../../Dockerfile.scraper"

[deploy]
startCommand = "yarn prod"
restartPolicyType = "ON_FAILURE"
restartPolicyMaxRetries = 3

[service]
port = 3100
autoDeploy = true ```

someone has been using AI to write this

yeah

but yeah then you just set the railway.toml's location in the service settings

what gives it away

is the syntax old?

just this part -

[service]
port = 3100
autoDeploy = true 

it may be valid toml, but its not close to anything we support in that file

one more question

~ railway up --help

Upload and deploy project from the current directory

Usage: railway up [OPTIONS] [PATH]

what is path

path to what

the path to the files you want to upload

So if I wanted to deploy apps/scraper which has a railway.toml

and railway.toml references a dockerfile that is at the root of the monorepo

where would I need to call railway up from?

why are you calling railway up?

arent you deploying from github?

no I am not

I deploy manually right now

then you run railway up from the root of your project

gotcha, then how does railway up now which docker file to call? or railway.toml to call

railway up just uploads the code, after that its up to what is defined in the service settings, the railway.toml file is set in the service settings, and the railway.toml file defines the location of the dockerfile

gotcha

I understand it now

okay thank you

you are the man brody

that took me way too long to figure out

do you have it working now?

yes

awsome!

.railwayignore will not upload files that are defined in there right?

correct

@Brody is it possible to have different railwayignore files

nope, the cli does not provide that functionality
