This isn’t a PgBouncer image issue, it’s a Railway runtime/health-check mismatch.

PgBouncer images don’t expose an HTTP port or emit logs by default, so Railway keeps waiting for the service to become “healthy” and sits forever at Creating containers.

Fix:

  • Explicitly set a TCP port PgBouncer listens on (e.g. LISTEN_PORT=3000)

  • Disable HTTP health checks or switch the service to TCP mode

  • Or add a dummy PORT env + command so Railway sees the container as alive

Railway assumes every service is a web app unless told otherwise which PgBouncer isn’t one.
