Hi everyone, I need help debugging a Railway deployment issue.
I am deploying a Next.js 16.1.6 app with standalone output.
Container logs show the app starts successfully and is ready:
Next.js 16.1.6
Local/Network: http://container-id:8080
Starting...
Ready in ~50ms
But the Railway public domain returns 502 for all routes, including:
/
/favicon.ico
/sw.js
/api/notifications/stream
What I already configured:
Standalone start command: node server.js
Build includes copying .next/static and public into .next/standalone
AUTH_PROXY_TARGET env variable is set
Also tested generated Railway domain (not only custom domain), still 502
One thing I noticed:
Start phase still appears to run corepack/yarn preparation in logs, so I am not sure if Railway is using my exact start command or an old/cached deploy plan.
Questions:
Why would Railway return 502 for every route when the app is clearly Ready on 8080?
Could this be an ingress/domain mapping issue rather than app runtime?
Best way to force Railway to use only:
Custom Build: npm i -g corepack@latest && corepack enable && corepack prepare yarn@4.13.0 --activate && yarn install --immutable && yarn build
Custom Start: npm i -g corepack@latest && corepack enable && corepack prepare yarn@4.13.0 --activate && yarn start
Any recommended way to fully clear build/runtime cache and domain routing state?
Any guidance on where to check next in Railway would be appreciated.

Something I'd try is to explicitly make your Next application listen on an arbitrary port (eg, 3000), and map the URL to port 3000 as well. See if that works.

Custom docker setup fixed the issue.
