There are a few issues when trying to set the NodeJS version. Angular 20 requires Node >= 20.19 or >= 22.12 or >=24.0.0.
Railway has Node v20.18.1 and v22.11.0. There's no way to set to 24.0.0 (or 23.0.0), it just falls back to v18, if you try to use RAILPACK_NODE_VERSION or engines (in package.json).
I've seen a few other related items, but so far no requests to set the minor version.
We need a workaround to either:
Set the minor version
Set the major version
Currently, we're blocked on both and running out of options.

Heya, can you share your package.json's engines config ? I was able to get this working with this sample repo: https://github.com/itsRems/test-node

We used Railpack as a workaround. Nixpack NodeJS version change doesn't work as expected.

We've passed the issue with Nixpack NodeJS versions on to our Product team. In the meantime, I'll mark this thread as solved, as you have a working workaround in place.
