I have problems with building project, and I just need quick help, so in my railway.json I have this line of code:
"buildCommand": "cd client && npm i -y && npm run build"
however, while project is building, it crashes with log that npm command is not found, now my project is spilt into 2 parts: /client and /server. that is reason why I used cd client && npm i -y && npm run build since I guess these commands are executed on root level, so logically it will first enter client dir, and inside there call npm commands, but its not.

This project has quite an unoptimized project structure, let me see if I can fix it.
I'll see about making a PR, and then I will follow up with deployment instructions.

also, note: if I set that my project root is inside client, and then if I set buildCommand to be only npm run build it would work..

You were trying to run your frontend and backend in one service, if not done properly this can cause a lot of issues, you unfortunately were not doing it properly, so I took the easier route and configured your service as an isolated mono repo.
Here is the PR with those changes - https://github.com/Vjecni/GodsEye/pull/1
To deploy this isolated mono-repo you will need a Railway project with two Railway services in the same project -
A service named Client and a service named Server
Both of these services will deploy from the same repo.
The Server service will have its root directory set to /server
The Client service will have its root directory set to /client
The root directory setting is found via the service's settings page.
On the Client service, you will need a VITE_BACKEND_URL service variable set to https://${{Server.RAILWAYPUBLICDOMAIN}}
Ask if you need clarification on anything that I didn't already cover.

alright, I fixed the repo errors that you pointed out, now I created 2 services, I think I configured them out good, Now I just need to figure out to server the apps, since Client service doesn't show frontend and server service just outputs "Not found"

also, Client service, inside deploy logs only spams this message:Error: adapting config using caddyfile: Caddyfile:2: unrecognized directive: admin using provided configuration

I followed the procedure above and deployed both server and client without issue.
Sorry but I won't be able to provide further help unless you merge my working PR.
