Static Site using Nginx + Railway domain not loading

I have a SvelteKit static site I'm trying to deploy using this Dockerfile:

FROM node:alpine3.18 as builder
RUN mkdir /code
WORKDIR /code
COPY . /code
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:alpine3.18-slim
COPY --from=builder /code/dist /usr/share/nginx/html

FROM node:alpine3.18 as builder
RUN mkdir /code
WORKDIR /code
COPY . /code
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:alpine3.18-slim
COPY --from=builder /code/dist /usr/share/nginx/html

(somewhat copied from here - https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/nginx/blob/main/Dockerfile) The build + deploy succeeded, and I generated a railway domain for it but I'm only seeing the "Application failed to respond" page. Is there something network-related I'm missing?

just have nginx listen on 8080 and then set a PORT service variable to 8080 that's what the template does and that's what you're missing

I'll do that Awesome, that was it! - totally missed that, thanks @Brody

no problem!

Hi, everybody This should be do in the docker file?

Brody•13mo ago

in the service variables https://docs.railway.app/develop/variables#defining-variables

FerDev•13mo ago

Why if i'll set a PORT variable with the 8080 value it works? Shouldn't you create a relation somewhere in the site or docker file to that port variable?

Brody•13mo ago

nginx needs to listen on 8080 too

FerDev•13mo ago

So is Railway who understand if the PORT variable is setted it should run in that port?

Brody•13mo ago

you first need to configure nginx to listen on 8080 yourself, then you set a PORT service variable to 8080 so that railway knows nginx is running on port 8080 for further help can you please open your own #✋｜help thread?
