Hey there!
I want to run a .js script inside my github repo once a day (so a cronjob basically).
What exactly do I have to do to manage that?
I created a service for that which includes my repo, set the root directory to that root folder and created a package.json for that in that subfolder. But still the service crashes.

Well there are couple of issues here,
1. nixpacks is being used by default so it doesn't know which script to run so it gets crashed.
Add a cron script like node src/cron.js in your package.json file, if the app is being built using typescript complier then you may need to specify node dist/src/cron.js then go into your railway dashboard and add a start script under app settings like npm run cron
2. You haven't set the Cron Schedule for the application indicating it to run once a day. But for now set it to run every 5 minutes so you can debug this issue quickly.
