Hello Railway Support,
We’re experiencing an issue where, after deploying certain backend changes, our previously uploaded photos get deleted. As a result, the images no longer appear on our website.
Could you please clarify why this happens? Is it related to the way Railway handles storage during redeploys? If so, what is the recommended approach to persist uploaded files (e.g., using volumes or another method)?
We would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to configure our project so that uploaded images are not removed after each deployment.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Abror

Hello Railway Support,
Thank you for sharing the related links. However, the suggested cases don’t fully match our situation. In our project, we use a Node.js backend with an uploads folder where user images are stored. After each deploy, these images are removed, and as a result they stop displaying on the website.
Could you please provide us with a direct solution for this case? Specifically, we need to understand how to configure persistent storage (or another recommended approach) so that uploaded photos are not deleted after deployment.
We’d appreciate clear guidance tailored to this scenario.
Best regards,
Abror

Hello,
Please store your uploads in a volume for persistent storage:
