hey, how are you specifying the URL on the n8n?

It’s in the server config node which just has a variable. I’ve tried without https://, without the forward slash, no port number etc.

if you're trying through the public networking then surely it shouldn't be issue

I would check if the variable is correct, Railway has no issues in connecting between services.

also, be warned that the public networking occurs bandwidth charges.

how can this be avoided?

I just had to update n8n and it started working

be sure to be using private networking.
https://docs.railway.com/guides/private-networking

hmm the private networking URL doesn't work

make sure it's with the correct port and all, without https

docs say to use http

no http doesn't work either

any ideas on getting local to work?

private networking should just work, are you able to get the error?

It doesn’t work. Unreachable via local network

are you getting any errors from n8n? like actual errors with messages

code
ERRBADREQUEST

you did not add http:// at the start of the URL

^^^^^

I’ve tried http

Not at my computer but I’ll resend the error with the http

but I need the error with http, that error is basically saying that it needs the protocol (http or https)

You can't use the internal address there

Use the public one and it will work

@meowsseline can you try that please? ˆ^

the private url is setup correctly here, if it didn't work then I think you need to stick with the public one

maybe it does some internal lookup and it resolves wrongly idk

I agree with Medim. It seems like it's not worth the trouble. Use the public network and monitor to see if it incurs noticeable bandwidth charges.

Where do I monitor network charges

Go to your service and then select the metrics tab and look at the network metrics

go to your project, click on settings on the top bar and then select usage.
keep an eye out for network usage

Network usage is low, highest is memory

keep a look for a few days, if something happens feel free to open a new help thread
