N/A

Even tried to upgrade by paying and my card gets declined (fully functional been using)

Looks like Railway is in the same state I left it a year ago?

Not functional…

sorry but that's not something railway could do

Which part?

The reset or support Laravel

Assuming the reset but who knows, good to know before I commit to paying for a plan if the platform is supported

the trial reset, it just wouldn't be fair to anyone else who's ever had their trial run out

Fair neough

Fair enough

Not sure how to mark this as solved but yeah consider it solved

as for Laravel support, the hard truth is if you don't understand the Laravel ecosystem you will always have a hard time deploying it

I've worked with Laravel for years, no issues with that

Super easy to deploy to Heroku, was impossible to get it to function a year ago, even with lots of help from your staff

https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/pull/829

I don't have staff 🙂 I don't work for railway

Aha, didn't know that was the case

You replied as if you knew if Railway would reset my trial

In truth you wouldn't know

I have been helping in this discord for a very long time, I'm fully confident that the answer I gave you would be the same the team would give you

Seems that there is still issues with PHP extensions on Railway based on the answers in that pull request

So that's that

you can use a Dockerfile to deploy your app

but as previously mentioned, if you aren't quite familiar with the entire php and Laravel ecosystem it will be challenging to deploy

Yeah sure, but the idea is for an elegant solution

Dockerfiles are quite elegant, it's a single file

I mean in the sense that it requires little to no setup from my part

it's a one time deal, set and forget

gives you total control over your build with none of the ambiguity you would get with nixpacks

Thanks for the info, might look into it. I do so much already as a solo dev that even if it sound ridicilous, I try to avoid adding more overhead

it's definitely worth using a dockerfile, and I'm sure you could find a good generic dockerfile for Laravel that would get you 90% of the way there

and as long as you are using a dockerfile the Laravel support becomes as great as your knowledge allows it to be

Yeah I see your point

See it's quite easy from my perspective, if there is this much hassle to move from Heroku to begin with, why bother? It all works great on Heroku with a quite complex setup, I'm probably not doing myself any favor. It's not a simple app in any sense. I do appreciate your time and help though, best of luck.

fair enough!
