Hey i followed the blog online and am trying to deploy my railway app under a backend/ directory in my mono repo, i tried this but getting a 500 error on github actions, any chance i can get some help?

  deploy_backend:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Deploy Backend to Railway
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Change to Backend Directory
        run: cd backend

      - name: Use Node 18
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: 18.x

      - name: Install Packages
        run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile

      - name: Install Railway CLI
        run: npm i -g @railway/cli

      - name: Deploy to Railway
        run: railway up
        env:
          RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }}
          workingDirectory: './backend'

whats the reason you are deploying from github actions in the first place?

getting a 504 timeout hmm i guess i can just set it up on railway's end directly yeah i thought it would be cleaner to have everything in a github action but thinking again i can just do this via railway

indeed just set the root directory in the service settings unless you are using the action to do something else as well?
