N/A

So, what happens in my template is that Directus <-> DB uses private networking

In your case you are trying to do NextJs <-> Directus

And Directus is basically your API so it can't be in the private networking

Why cannot it be in the private network?
Thank you a lot for helping out btw

Unless you are doing NextJs <-> API <-> Directus, this way you can make the connection between your API and Directus private

'cause how would your user be able to access it?

your user doesn't and cant access your services in the private network

So, my next.js will fetch the data with server functions, and then display it on the client. The user would just access the next.js site, perhaps I completely misunderstand how this is supposed to be working. But my understanding is that I would connect the next.js app with directus using nexjs server features. Wouldn't that work like connecting a backend to directus?

So now u just hit a grey area <:kekw:788259314607325204>
I thought about that, but I don't know how it works, I don't use NextJs or its server features

That would be a good question to make on the Nextjs discord server

I most probably will ask there as well. Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

Np, sorry that I couldn't really help you

No problem of course :))

these two docs sections may provide more information

Thank you, I did already look into this although this confuses me a bit:

"A web application that makes client-side requests cannot communicate to another service over the private network."

Does this mean internal routing would not work with next.js?

The faq answers this, just saw that one so thank you again.
But still does not solve my issue, I think it might have something to do with ipV6 with directus, I tried different solutions but none seem to be working

so you are
making the requests to directus from the server side of your nextjs app?
and
the nextjs app is in the same project?

yes, the next.js and directus are within the same project, and I am using server side to make directus requests.

what errors are you getting

can you show me a screenshot of your railway project?

Do you mean like this?

did you deploy directus yourself?

yes,
{ "name": "directus", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "start": "npx directus start" }, "keywords": [], "author": "", "license": "ISC", "dependencies": { "directus": "^10.10.5", "pg": "^8.11.5" } }
this is the package.json for it,

thats very far from ideal

please scap that and deploy medim's directus template

https://supabase.com/partners/integrations/directus
I used this to set up directus with supabase, could you tell me what is not ideal about it? Thank you a lot for taking the time to help me out btw

your directus deploys from github instead of an image, doesnt have persistent storage, doesnt dual stack bind, doesnt have a health check, is likely missing some env vars, etc etc

ok, thank you very much! I will look into the template you mentioned. I followed the tutorial to set it up with Supabase as the storage. Perhaps, I can do that with the tempalte as well.

yep you can customize the service after you deploy the template, its just better to start off with the template that is designed to run on railway in a production setting than it is to deploy it yourself

though i dont know if i can recommend using supabase for the database or storage, you would be subjecting yourself to egress fees from railway

and even if you didn't care about egress fees, there's still that extra round trip time from contacting external services

Great, that sounds quite good

keeping supabase as the database is a bit of a necessity, otherwise in case of no constraints it does make sense to keep the database within railway

may I ask why it's a necessity to use supabase?

It wasn't really my decision to do it like that, so I can't answer it properly. But one reason was that we are using supabase for other data, and we need to share it across apps although not all apps use directus.

gotcha

okay let me know when you have medim's template deployed into your project and configured to your liking, then we can pick this back up!

Wonderful, I will definitely let you know even if all goes well.

now keep in mind when you go to deploy the template into your project, you will see multiple duplicates, make sure you only deploy the one with medim's name on it, it is the only template we would be able to provide support for and we are in the process of removing all other duplicates
