Title: Postgres stuck at "Create container" then FAILED – volume with no backups

Project: infra-n8n (67f339ea-691b-4dd0-88e0-f4d17a8c051d), environment: production

Service: Postgres (2c89c354-b624-4086-8c4b-c0f94cdd2ec4)

Image: ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ssl:16

Volume: postgres-volume (38acf4e9-53b2-4540-9876-2f2387e82916), 5 GB, us-east4, idle since 2026-03-30

Deployment: ee233ace-ecc7-457f-be1c-c72090d30536

Redeploy started 2026-10-15 16:43 UTC, stayed ~26 min at Deploy > Create container, then FAILED with "An unknown error occurred". No build or deploy logs, no automatic diagnosis. Redis in the same project redeployed fine at the same time. Variables are complete and billing is up to date.

The volume has NO backups and holds our production n8n data. Please bring the container up with the existing volume intact. Do not recreate or wipe the volume.

The deployment failed while its container was still being created, so your Postgres image never started. That is why there are no build or deploy logs and no diagnosis to show. The failure did not come from your variables, image, or billing.

This deployment did not recreate, wipe, or modify the postgres-volume volume. Its data stays in place and the volume is still attached to the Postgres service.
