Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Public Bucket Image Proxy

• 🧵 Nginx reverse proxy with Railway public URL

• 🧵 nginx reverse proxy to public service not working

• 🧵 caddy proxy error

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hey,

1. We're not aware of any DNS issues.

2. Unfortunately, IPv4 support is only available for newly created environments at this time. If possible, you could create a new environment and migrate your data there.

3. The DNS resolution should be stable.

Can I know why you can't use the private networking? If you're using IORedis (NodeJS) please see the docs for the setup on it: https://docs.railway.com/guides/private-networking#ioredis

When I connect through the private url the containers are crashing.

[Redis client] getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND redis.railway.internal
[Redis client] getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND redis

Hey, have you added ?family=0 to your Redis connection string when connecting over private networking? This is required when your environment is still IPv6 only for private networking.

I have added ?family=0 and the server is still crashing. The issue isn't IPv4 vs IPv6 — we're getting ENOTFOUND redis.railway.internal which means DNS resolution is failing entirely. We've confirmed both services are in the same project. Is there something that needs to be enabled for private DNS to work, or is this an older environment that doesn't support private networking?

Hey, no this shouldn't be the case. Have you tried explicitly passing the family argument? Can you share a screenshot of your dashboard and your Redis's networking settings?

I had the family argument in the environment variables for n8n + workers = 0 when it crashed.

QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_HOST="redis.railway.internal"

QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_PORT="6379"

QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_PASSWORD=""

QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_FAMILY="0"

Hey, please don't hardcode the values when reference variables are available. Furthermore, have you tried to specify the dualstack service variable? Please take this configuration from one of the n8n templates on Railway as a reference.
