thanks for sharing your usecase!

this template was made with your exact use case in mind -

n/a

thanks

let me know if you run into any difficulties

Hi, I tested this out but for me it did not work as planned

it's a bit hard to debug because I don't know what part I've done wrong

it's not clear from the instructions if I need to use your template or not it says this:

"Once the bookmarklet has been added to your bookmark bar, open your Railway project and desired service,"

What do you mean desired service? The Railway Cron service or something else?

I think it would make more sense in your instructions to put the "deploy this template" first because it I put the schedule_1 and stuff like that in my other service

you could also do it in code. I'm also doing a restart once a day with a cron job

node+nestjs

@Cron('0 8 * * *', {
  timeZone: constants.worker.timezones.iceland,
})
async restart() {
  await this.railwayService.restart(RailwayServices.api);
}

restart() {
  await this.axiosService.post(this.config.url, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${this.config.apiKey}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    data: {
      query: `
        mutation DeploymentRestart($id: String!) {
          deploymentRestart(id: $id)
        }
      `,
      variables: { id },
    },
  });
}

this is exactly what the service I made does.

have you read the templates overview?
I thought I did a pretty good job at explaining every little detail needed to deploy it

seems to work now

as a railway beginner i didn't understand you had to deploy the template

uhhh well i would have never imagined id need to tell you to deploy the template

can you help me understand the thought process behind being able to use a template without ever deploying it?

I don't know I must be stupid

i thought I would make it myself by following the text and skip the template

I never used CRON before so this might add to the confusion. I followed everything in the text, I put the schedule_1 and token on my service variables for the thing I wanted to restart

anyway I don't think there is much to improve in the instructions, it comes from inexperience with both railway and cron on my side

sounds good, so you did get it to work in the end?

yes

awsome, and i always wanna hear peoples usecase for it, would you mind sharing?

same as this threads title?

ye

cool, thanks for sharing

thanks
