All right, im pretty new but i cant find anything about this in the documentation. I wanted to make a project with vlang so i added my github repository and i wanted it to automatically select Dockerfile as builder(which i read it should), but it currently uses Nixpacks as builder,

your repo will only use a Dockerfile as a builder if you have a file named Dockerfile in the root directory, or point Railway to your dockerfile in the service settings

I’m sorry I fully blanked the first image. Is that the root directory of your project?

Hm odd. I’ll have to tag in @Brody here to take a closer look at your project
i also tried to add the "RAILWAYDOCKERFILEPATH" variable but that didnt really do much

what is a builder variable in this context?
well i thought if i set it to dockerfile it might change, and i guess it did. if this isnt supposed to do anything im fine with it cuz it works now lol
