the periodic task and crontab are setup properly in the django db just like when it was local. dpeloyed one just doesn't want to trigger it

hello!

in your linked project i only see your website service, two databases, and dbgate.

i dont see services for celery and celery beat?

yo brody

i didn't create services for celery and beat, i was under the impression that since locally i was able to run them through terminal windows i could include the commands i used in ProcFile to trigger them

also how would i even setup services for them if thats what i have to do. all i did were commands in my project environment rather than anything external

if possible keeping it within the same service would be ideal but ik its not exactly best practice. tbh i clearly jsut don't have a full understanding of how this should be working in a deployed env

so you would need to translate your multiple terminal windows locally into multiple railway services.

you can just right click duplicate your main service, and then set the correct start command in its service settings

wait thats it? so deplicate the main service, and set start command to

celery -A AiSalesPlatformDemo beat --loglevel=debug --scheduler djangocelerybeat.schedulers:DatabaseScheduler

and

celery -A AiSalesPlatformDemo worker --loglevel=debug --pool=solo
?

yeah, duplicate twice since you need to run two more things

the start commands are pulled from railwayjson though

remove them from railway.json

or have a web.railway.json, celery.railway.json, celery_beat.railway.json will the correct commands defined, and then set the applicable config file in the service settings

oof

that jacks up my whole automation process

how so

automation handles each service but just deploys from a given repo. not sure how i would modify automations to change the start commands per service

also i don't really get how a duplicate service tied to the same repo acts aas a terminal window within a deployed env

im not sure i understand what you mean "automations "

so just an unexposed service with a diff start command would do that?

i have a form setup and submitting through that form clones a base repo and sets up all teh services i need for projects and creates a new project w everything i need

if it helps, you can think about the start command as the command you enter into the terminal

you helped me with that a lil while back lol

why wouldn't the proc file work for this though

oh yeah, no it doesnt mess anything up, delete the start command from the railway.json and then just set the start command in the template

procfile is heroku, we are railway lol

this is better practice

i have other start commands in there i need for the first servce tied to the repo though. its django so has to run the stupid collectstatic stuff

then you run that as a start command

id have to manually put in the new start command though right? for the service that guess is acting as a temrinal window

duplicated service

only once, in your template

one sec, im 100% messing something up but have to handle something rq

so i duplicated the service. youre saying to delete the start command from the railway.json file:

"startCommand": "python [manage.py](manage.py) makemigrations && python [manage.py](manage.py) migrate && python [manage.py](manage.py) setup_periodic_tasks && python [manage.py](manage.py) collectstatic --noinput && gunicorn --timeout 300 --workers 3 AiSalesPlatformDemo.wsgi",

and just leave that blank. and then manually put them into the start command of the original one.

regarding this, i would e able to select from the applicable railway.json file if there are multiple?

like they would show up in a dropdown or something? as of right now idisables any custom commands because it is pulling from the railway.json. was wondering if we are actually abel to pick from here or from api

sorry dumbq uesitons ik

you wouldnt, i made the suggestion before i remembered your usecase. please forget about it

you want to remove the startcommand from the json file and instead set the start commands in your template

well, right now you would want to get things running in your example project, then you can update the template

okay cool i got it

ty!

also, i dont see any variables on the web service?

ended up not using vars, temporarily using an sh script to run things under this service since i had other stuff come up i need to prioritize. I have a temp solution working for everything and you gave me all the info i need to set it up properly so i appreciate it

my brain was a bit fried yesterday, sorry i took me a min to see what you were saying. appreciate the help as always man! this support thread is good to be closed

nah this can't be closed until you stop hard coding your variables

please update the template with reference variables
