GDAL
I am wondering how to set GDAL to work with leaflet when deploying a Django project through railway.
Do I need to:
• Include GDAL==3.7.0 in the requirements.txt file
• Set GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH and GEOTS_LIBRARY_PATH in settings.py
• Set these library paths in railway’s variables
• Anything else?
Many thanks for your assistance

you need to be using gunicorn, never use runserver on railway

Those steps look fine. Have you tested this or are you just speculating?
I am trying to get GDAL installed so I can use geospatial data in the models. I have tried various different versions of GDAL in requirements, dockerfiles containing gdal and libgdal etc. I can't figure out how to get GDAL installed itself in order to be able to set the library paths in .env.
Best I got was the site saying it was deployed with a dockerfile like:
FROM python:3.11.1
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
gdal-bin \
libgdal-dev \
python3-gdal
ENV GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib/libgdal.so
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt /app/
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . /app/
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["python", "manage.py", "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
Logs say site is active but accesing the site returns ServerError and application failed to respond.
