When I set up Permify instance and select public network it gives following error:

Application failed to respond

This error appears to be caused by the application.

What are the limitations for this since I am getting following errors too:

Permify lookupEntity error

Permify write error

Ollama embed error connect ETIMEDOUT 151.101.2.15:11434

This looks like a port/service wiring issue rather than a Railway outage.

Permify exposes two different ports by default:

  • REST/HTTP API: 3476
  • gRPC API: 3478

So for Railway public networking, set the target port to 3476 if you want the public Railway URL to load/respond over HTTP. If your app talks to Permify with the gRPC client, use port 3478 from your app over Railway private networking instead of the public HTTP domain.

The Ollama error is separate:

connect ETIMEDOUT 151.101.2.15:11434

Port 11434 is Ollama's local server port. A Railway service cannot reach an Ollama process running on your laptop, and that external IP is not an Ollama service listening on 11434. Either run Ollama as its own Railway/private-network service and point your app to that internal host:11434, or switch embeddings to a hosted model API.

Quick check:

  1. Public URL / browser check -> target port 3476.
  2. App-to-Permify REST -> http://:3476.
  3. App-to-Permify gRPC -> :3478.
  4. Ollama embeddings -> a reachable Ollama service URL, not localhost and not a random public IP on 11434.

Small formatting correction: the host placeholder was stripped above.

Use your Permify service's Railway private hostname in those examples:

  • REST: http://PERMIFY_PRIVATE_HOST:3476
  • gRPC: PERMIFY_PRIVATE_HOST:3478

For example, copy the private networking host from the Permify service in Railway, then append the correct port for the client you are using.
