Make sure your Postgres service is running and healthy.

Also, you can run pg_dump from the console tab of your service, then download the dump file directly from the filebrowser. It might be faster that way.

my database is crashing even though there is data in the variables, and I can't download the data because of this

What are the errors being thrown?

Mounting volume on: /var/lib/containers/railwayapp/bind-mounts/f4a153fe-3292-418b-8f1a-05767b6079b4/vol_ofn60390g61cnd9l

ERROR: BOT_TOKEN not found in configurations

although there is this token and it worked just yesterday, today when I wanted to transfer data to a local PC, it started giving this error

That's what the Postgres logs are showing?

yes

You need to recreate your Postgres instance then.

1. Delete the current Postgres service (Don't delete the volume)
2. Right click on your canvas and create a new Postgres instance
3. After it's deployed, drag the old volume onto the new instance to swap volumes (the new volume can be deleted)

So, without recreating, it won't be possible to download data from the database?

It's possible you accidentally ran railway up into your database service.

Either way, the image on your database service isn't what it's supposed to be, so you'd need to recreate the service.

and if I do something wrong, is it possible to roll back the changes?

The steps are pretty straightforward. It would be quite hard to accidentally delete your volume.

I've done a good job, but now how can I get the data from this database to make it work?

You can run pg_dump (2) from the console tab (1) by clicking on your database. You'll then be able to download the dump file from the filebrowser (3) below.

for some reason, the file is downloaded empty, even though there is data

Or am I doing something wrong?

Did you swap the old volume onto the new volume?

It's like you said

If you go to the Database tab, is there any data there?

yes, maybe I'm doing something wrong

Thank you very much you are the best

Did that do it?

yes

ilove u

Good to know haha
