Django Deployment Issue - 503 Error on Railway Platform
Hello,
I am encountering a 503 error ("Application failed to respond") while deploying my Django application on Railway.
Build and deploy logs contain no errors.
Here are the relevant details:
Deployment Logs:
Build Logs (Partial):
Deployment Setup:
Docker configuration: https://github.com/NikGor/mysite/blob/main/Dockerfile and https://github.com/NikGor/mysite/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
Deployment files: https://github.com/NikGor/mysite/blob/main/railway.yml
Project settings: https://github.com/NikGor/mysite/blob/main/mysite/settings.py
Observations:
The application deploys successfully locally without any errors.
Connection to the DATABASE_URL from Railway works from the local environment.
All required environment variables such as DATABASE_URL, SECRET_KEY, DEBUG, ALLOWED_HOSTS for the Django application are properly configured on the Railway platform.
I am seeking assistance from Django specialists to identify potential issues causing the application to not respond on Railway. I'm confused, because the project was successfully deployed on render.com.
Note:
I acknowledge that I am using the development server in the Dockerfile, which is suitable for small projects. For reference, I based my docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile on the official Django documentation's recommended sample project: https://github.com/dockersamples/link-shortener-django/
Thank you for your expertise and support.
Best regards,
Niko

Hi Niko. It looks like you're listening on port 8000 when you should be listening on the railway provided
port variable instead. Give this a read: https://docs.railway.app/troubleshoot/fixing-common-errors and you should be able to fix it. πHi! Thank you for your response. I have another project that I deployed on Railway. In that project, the port 8000 is also explicitly specified, and the application works successfully. Here are its logs:
It's working.
I think the issue is somewhere in Django, but this is one of my first projects, so I'm not sure which aspects I might have overlooked
Oh, maybe it's something above my understanding then, sorry. π I just know this is a common issue. Someone else will surely be along shortly with some better help.
nope, Jon was right
