Help getting Strapi service running locally

I spun up a strapi instance in Railway, and after I clone the repo, I seem to be having issues getting it running. I see that there is some config set up with variables for local development but it seems those are incorrect? Just looking to get help getting this running, as its not how I would normally spin up a strapi project, this just seemed quicker.
Solution:
you will want to use the cli with railway run npx strapi develop or something like that please read this docs page https://docs.railway.app/develop/cli...

no I was using strapi develop I basically made the service, and once the service was initialized, I cloned the repo it made and tried to get that set up and this is where I am running into errors

I get this error when running railway up: The owner of this project is not verified this is a project I was invited to, so does this mean the person who invited me needs to verify? @Brody

hmm I have been hesitant to upgrade my own just becuase I only use this for other client projects

you get emailed usage alerts, so unless you plan on dropping off he face of the earth for a week, it would be pretty hard to get charged with unexpected usage you use the trial plan for work with clients?

and what plans are they usually on
Rich Prins
Rich PrinsOP17mo ago
when they are ready to launch I make sure they upgrade to the paid tier
Brody
Brody17mo ago
i assume they pay you, you would likely want to be on the pro plan
Rich Prins
Rich PrinsOP17mo ago
is that required?
Brody
Brody17mo ago
no, its preferred since you are profiting off the use of railway
Rich Prins
Rich PrinsOP17mo ago
oh i see
Brody

but i will say you absolutely should be on a paid plan
