How do I set up PostGIS?

The docs say it used to be available but now I should ask on Discord?
Solution:
just deploy a postgis template, you can search and deploy for it from the + New button inside of a project

thanks! I wonder why the docs dont just say that
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
there are multiple locations in the docs that talk about deploying templates, what could be added?
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
https://docs.railway.app/databases/postgresql#timescale-and-postgis this is what I found and it would have been easier if it just said what you said
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
that's fair, I will make this happen

awesome 🙂

the docs page is getting a gigantic overhaul, anything else you have in mind?
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
on this page specifically?
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
any page, railway loves feedback

ah just remembered one https://docs.railway.app/deploy/exposing-your-app#railway-provided-domain it didn't happen for me as described there and it doesnt say how to do it manually it was pretty hard to find as the word 'domain' is not used any more its now Settings > Networking > Public networking

yeah I can see this needs some extra clarification, thank you! this is backed up by the fact that I have had to tell a good amount of people how to add a railway domain to their app

I'm sure it used to be easier - I dont recall getting stuck last time an accessibility one - it would be good to have the gifs be controllable - pause - it's part of the WCAG standard

railway has been evolving quite fast recently, so even the little UI changes they've done can be disruptive when the docs images don't match the site

anda a cheeky UI one - I find the accordions confusing, the arrow approach is normally 'what will happen if you press it' but Railways are inverse of that. So down arrow when closed no, when open!

I've also seen someone ask for this too, this is awesome feedback
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
(as in railway ui, not docs)
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
where specifically in the railway UI can you see this?
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
no worries, thanks for taking it on. If I think of any more I'll let you know

oh wow they are inverted, that's funny
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
looking at it, another thing is General is taking up lots of space even though its closed
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
will let the team know about that too
Joe Lanman
Joe LanmanOP•12mo ago
boom
Brody
Brody•12mo ago
thank you very much for all the feedback, if you have anything else feel free to drop it

another accessibility one in the UI - sometimes keyboard focus is clear and sometimes its not. I think sometimes its because its focusing something that is visually hidden (so shouldnt be receiving focus)

if I tab from here, I get 5 tab stops before it goes to Networking
Brody

great catch

the contents are hidden with
opacity: 0; height: 0px; margin: 0px;
opacity: 0; height: 0px; margin: 0px;
which doesnt actually hide them (display none)
