I've been trying to install and enable a couple of PHP modules via docker-php-ext-install. It works well if I run the build in my local Docker environment using:
docker compose up -d --build
But if I run the deployment on Railway using:
railway up
Everything seems to be completing successfully, but the modules installed with docker-php-ext-install are not loaded.
My local Docker container:
root@0c3851d06742:/var/www/html/bin# php -m

railway does not provide any way to ssh into the container or run commands on it

railway run does not SSH into the railway deployment, all commands ran through it will only ever run locally on your own computer@Brody thanks for pointing that out! so is there a way to ssh into the running container? or how do I run a command post-deployment?
Solution

if modules are missing on railway it is because you have not installed them correctly with your dockerfile
the modules do work in my local Docker environment. I think the main issue was misunderstanding how railway run command works. I was trying to load fixtures into my database post-deployment.
thanks for your help!
