N/A

so first, how do you currently have your service setup to deploy to railway? github action? github source?

just as a github source

could you include a pre-run shell script with that command? then update your start command to ./[pre-run.sh](pre-run.sh) &&

as long as you use a readiness type health check your deployment would not be switched in until its ready to handle requests

hmmm, so for context I use alot of git hub actions , cloudformation etc for work . I only used the git hub source as I was just testing out railway. Can I do all this with git hub actions on railway ?

at this moment, nope.

it's currently broken, but otherwise you would use railway up in an action with the --ci flag, with that flag set it will wait for the deployment to either succeed or fail and exit with the applicable exit code, then you would run your aws command in the action as long as the deployment succeed.

but that's currently broken so pre-run script is the best I can think of.

Okay interesting thanks for the insight

of course the drawback of the pre-run script is now you need to bundle the aws cli with your image

Yea, i was hoping for a simple solution instead of building a docker image and packing everything. Which i suppose if i have to do then I would just stuff it back into aws

yeah for now the pre-run script is the best way I can think of

Do you have a gist or simlar of what your envisioning ?

do you currently use a dockerfile or nixpacks?

I was just setting a basic next js app with strapi cms. and uses the templats I found on railway

I believe they use nixpacks

I think you can get the aws cli as a nix package, but I actually just thought of something that has a slim chance to get --ci to work in an action, let me do some testing

nice

I assume you're familiar with how to get the aws cli available in a GitHub action?

uses: chrislennon/action-aws-cli@v1.1

yup

not working how i had hoped, but ive ran out of time for today

I appreciate the effore

I can try to run some bash commands in an action now to see how things pan out
