@adamatronix does the thread you are following use docker?

Ok are there guides regarding railway + wordpress docker setup? My understanding there are already templates with wordpress docker, but I dont know how to pull in my wordpress code from github. Are people using volumes or a separate service?

Im personally unfamiliar with wordpress but am with docker. If the code is “contained” and you start it with a command you can dockerize it most definitely.

Let me look online a bit

I am currently using ddev for local dev.

So (still not the most knowledgeable when it comes to wordpress specifically) i looked around online and found this.
Apparently wordpress isnt intended to be version controlled so trying to do it can cause issues. You can migrate the theme/plugins to the hosted railway image though.

That “isnt intended” thing doesnt sound right though haha

Google says

WordPress Core: While you can track specific elements like themes or plugins, it's generally not recommended to put the entire WordPress core files in your Git repository. This is because core updates are handled separately by WordPress itself. Instead, focus on version controlling your custom theme and plugin files within your /wp-content directory.

Hi, I ended up going the Docker route, and had Cursor complete a Dockerfile for me:

```# Use official WordPress image as base
FROM wordpress:latest

Install additional PHP extensions, tools, and Node.js

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
less \
mariadb-client \
vim \
curl \
&& curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash - \
&& apt-get install -y nodejs \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Set working directory

WORKDIR /var/www/html

Copy custom wp-config.php that supports environment variables

COPY wp-config-env.php /var/www/html/wp-config.php

Copy any custom themes, plugins, or uploads

COPY wp-content/ /var/www/html/wp-content/

Install npm dependencies for the sow theme

RUN if [ -f "/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/sow/package.json" ]; then \
cd /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/sow && npm install; \
fi

Build Tailwind CSS for the sow theme

RUN if [ -f "/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/sow/src/input.css" ]; then \
cd /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/sow && npx tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./src/output.css; \
fi

Set proper permissions

RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html \
&& chmod -R 755 /var/www/html \
&& chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads

Create a health check

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
CMD curl -f http://localhost/ || exit 1

Expose port 80

EXPOSE 80

Start Apache

CMD ["apache2-foreground"]
```

I am getting two errors:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y less mariadb-client vim curl && curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash - && apt-get install -y nodejs && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* failed to copy: httpReadSeeker: failed open: failed to do request: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/wordpress/blobs/sha256:a7df3fd7d6b0db0f584c7c10c5ad2392936521275511e6fa448dfbf13295b4ad": context canceled: context canceled

and

I tihnk the first one, from other posts, can be fixed on Railway's end?

It looks like an internet issue. Maybe wait and retry the deployment? Seems odd

For this one, this is showing that the file you are copying doesnt exist. Try using a relative path with ./ based on it

I am still getting it. It's on Railway's end since it's their network?

I've seen a post where a user had a similar issue, and Railway was able to fix it

Hey @Brody hope you’re not too busy. Is this something that railway has to fix? Unfamiliar

please don’t ping the team. If team involvement is required, ping a conductor and we will flag the thread

Didnt know that was a rule

🛂｜readme #5

Is there a reason why you’re making your own Dockerfile and not using the wordpress template’s setup?

^ This is the correct course of action

context cancelled is not the actual error here, it means that another command failed (wp-config not found) and caused a chain reaction to cancel all other parallel running commands.
