looks like the answer was removed here. was there something wrong with the answer or was it removed by accident?

It looked like an AI generated answer to me.

ah gotcha

but regarding above -- i can't use the public railway url (up.railway.app) for the domain name in the proxy host and would need to use a custom domain right?

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the NGINX proxy manager, I will need to let the community step in to help you here.

hey, Railway domains should work just fine with any reverse proxy

would i put the public railway url under "Domain Names" and put the internal private networking url under forward hostname/IP?

i tried that but it didn't work - would i need to remove the public url from my app's container?

Yep your public domain needs to be attached to the Nginx service.

afaik you can remove the domain from your webapp and then add it again to the Nginx one

like when you generate a domain, you can edit the generated domain so just edit it to be the same as your webapp domain

unfortunately a downtime will be required for that.

when you say "same as your webapp domain" do you mean the custom domain for my webapp?

cause i don't have one i've just been using the railway up.railway.app to access my webapp

the up.railway.app can be modified to be anything you want

the flow would be

1 - remove the railway domain from your webapp service
2 - add a domain to your Nginx service and edit it to match the one your web application previously used

got it!

and just to make sure when you say "add a domain to your Nginx service" are you talking about adding it to the nginx-proxy-manager container within railway or the nginx dashboard where i add the actual proxy host

add it within Railway

actually you'll need to add on both

okay great i'll try that

thanks!
