Strapi failing when deployed from the template

Is there possibly a bug? When I go to url.com/admin, it shows An error occurred while requesting the API Any idea what could be wrong? I did not change anything.

Some modules in build are even throwing errors.

Well the weird thing is that there are no errors in deploy logs.

The repo, there's not much to see, it's the forked (autogenerated) template from Railway when you select Strapi.

Alright, that looks okay But still... πŸ˜„ so you just manually create a service from a Github repo?

@cq connect ECONNREFUSED 0.0.0.0:5432 When starting the server, it's showing this, any idea why? My PostgreSQL setup was apparently wrong. It's up and running, but I need a develop env. Why does it run in production when I literally started with npm run develop ? :D

NODE_ENV is probably set to production

Yes, that was the reason, thanks. Any idea why the whole database (all collections and everything) is wiped after redeploying? When it's running on dev mode and I redeploy, (to dev again) for some reason, it deletes the created collection. For this example, I want to be running dev env even in the final use, because of the collections creating and so on.

I'm investigating it a bit more now I don't know, but in case they might, I really don't want them to do that :D Yes, when I redeploy the service, the postgresql table with the "Single type" I added in the Strapi admin panel suddenly disappears.

Thanks everyone you also helped me to get my environment working, although I took a slightly different track because I wanted to continue to use the Railway template, and to dockerize it so I could also run it locally. So after deployment I cloned the repo, used https://github.com/strapi-community/strapi-tool-dockerize and added the environment variables that were generated in the Railway deployment. In this case I couldn't parse the connection string so I had to supply the environment variables to the config file directly as shown in the screenshot. As an aside I do think I have an unused container running postgres somewhere but I'll sort that out.
