Hey everyone! 👋

I'm trying to run psql commands against a PostgreSQL service in Railway that has only Private Networking enabled (Hobby plan). Since there's no Shell tab or SSH access, I'm wondering how others usually handle this.

What I’ve tried/considered:

• Using a helper Docker service that runs psql on startup and logs the output

• Exploring tools like pgweb or Adminer deployed as a Railway service

• Temporarily exposing the DB publicly (not ideal)

🔍 My main goal is to run ad-hoc SQL queries (e.g., inspect schema, test data) from outside, without having public access enabled.

Question: What workarounds or approaches have you used to connect to a private Postgres from outside Railway?

Would love to hear how others solve this. Thanks!
