process "/bin/bash -ol pipefail -c caddy fmt --overwrite" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

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.

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?

Sorry for the late response.

I'd have to recommend you deploy the template and eject from it, then you can start off with a known working codebase
