Accessing current Nixpacks file
I need to install Poppler on my Railway environment. From what I can see one way to do this is via the Nixpacks file. I don't currently have one on my local. Is there a way to install Poppler via the Railway GUI. If not, is there a way to get the current Nixpacks file so I can add Poppler, without risking breaking other stuff by writing the Nixpacks file from scratch.
