Please i need help to deploy my reflex app.
That is what my folder structure looks like.
The CaddyFile , nix paks i just copied from what i saw online.
Attached images to show what i'm talking about.
I get this error `✕ [stage-0 14/16] RUN caddy fmt --overwrite
process "/bin/bash -ol pipefail -c caddy fmt --overwrite" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
Dockerfile:37
35 | # fmt phase

Try removing the caddyfile and nixpacks.toml, those shouldn't be applicable to Python apps

What's the command to start your app?
I have made some changes.
Pardon my late response.
This is my railway.toml
[build]
builder = "DOCKERFILE"
dockerfilePath = "Dockerfile"
And my DockerFile
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
ARG NODE_VERSION=20.x
Install necessary tools, Node.js, and unzip
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
curl \
gnupg \
unzip \
procps \
&& curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup${NODEVERSION} | bash - \
&& apt-get install -y nodejs \
&& apt-get clean \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
Create reflex user
RUN adduser --disabled-password --home /app reflex
Set up Python environment
RUN python -m venv /app/.venv
ENV PATH="/app/.venv/bin:$PATH"
Copy the application files
COPY --chown=reflex:reflex . /app
Set permissions
RUN chown -R reflex:reflex /app
Switch to reflex user
USER reflex
Install Python dependencies
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
Initialize Reflex
RUN reflex init
Ensure all environment variables are set
ENV PATH="/app/.venv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"
ENV NODEPATH="/usr/lib/nodemodules"
ENV REFLEX_PORT=8000
ENV PORT=3000
Add health check endpoint to a separate file for clarity
RUN echo 'import reflex as rx\n\n@rx.page("/api/health")\ndef health():\n return {"status": "ok"}' > /app/reflexlearning/health.py RUN echo 'from reflexlearning.health import health # Add health endpoint' >> /app/reflex_learning/init.py
Expose ports for Reflex (frontend and backend)
EXPOSE 3000
EXPOSE 8000
Add Docker healthcheck
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=60s --retries=3 \
CMD curl -f http://localhost:8000/api/health || exit 1
Needed until Reflex properly passes SIGTERM on backend
STOPSIGNAL SIGKILL
Run the app in production mode
CMD ["reflex", "run", "--env", "prod"]
[deploy]
restartPolicyType = "ON_FAILURE"
restartPolicyMaxRetries = 10
healthcheckPath = "/api/health"
healthcheckTimeout = 180 # Increased timeout (3 minutes)

Does it work? Also, why are you installing Node?
I followed this [https://www.codingforentrepreneurs.com/blog/deploy-reflex-docker-containers-github-neon-linode](https://www.codingforentrepreneurs.com/blog/deploy-reflex-docker-containers-github-neon-linode)
But there's something i'm missing.

have you tried deploying the template -
Thank you for your response.
I tried looking into it but I didn’t know exactly how to implement that into my own project.
If you could help explain please. Or do I just clone what was done there?

I'd have to recommend you deploy the template and eject from it, then you can start off with a known working codebase
Hello @Real_PyGod did you ever end up having any success using Railway's Reflex deployment template?
