Trying to install a Template "Librechat" https://railway.com/deploy/b5k2mn

I add OpenAI API Key variable, save config and then hit deploy. But it always finishes with "Oh no!" message. I even upgraded to the Pro Plan, but still does not work.

Project ID: 3e05635d-8627-4d50-987b-8091c9063136

Did you configure the librechat .env based off of this documentation?

Sorry, i'm quite new to this. Probably I'm doing all this wrong. I just clicked the deploy button. Shall I clone the repo to my GH account first and configure the env file there?


No, you should never commit .env files


In the template, it states:

⚠️ BEFORE DEPLOYMENT
Make sure to review and correctly configure your .env file using the official guide: 👉 LibreChat Configuration Guide

Scrolling down, it states:

⚙️ Implementation Details
LibreChat’s Railway template automatically deploys the backend (Express + MongoDB) and serves the production frontend built with React + Vite. After deployment:

Go to Railway’s dashboard → Variables → Add .env keys from the config guide.
Redeploy the service.
Access your hosted LibreChat instance from the Railway-generated domain.
Optional integrations include:

File uploads (S3-compatible storage)
OpenAI, Azure, or Anthropic API keys
OAuth2 / Email login

Also, asides from the "Oh no," are there any other error messages?

I see. But it never deployed in the 1st place. It's not my first project on Railway (but first from template), so I'm a bit confused. Once I'm trying to deploy, it gives me the error and that's it, so the project is not deployed, and no services there are at all. Just an empty space.
