Hi, is it possible to host BTCPay Server on Railway? I can’t get it to work with the official Docker image.

please specify what specifically you are having troubles with
BTCPay Sever requires you to configure Environment variables before running a Shell script which will then start the Docker container.
Here is some Documentation:
The setup below assumes you want to support Bitcoin, Core Lightning (CLN), HTTPS automatically configured by Nginx. It also enables node pruning, which you can modify or ignore if you have enough disk space for a full node. Finally, your domain is btcpay.EXAMPLE.com should reflect your actual domain name. Environment variables can be tailored to your needs. Some variables require additional storage space. Login as root sudo su - Create a folder for BTCPay mkdir BTCPayServer cd BTCPayServer Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker cd btcpayserver-docker Run btcpay-setup.sh with the right parameters export BTCPAY_HOST="btcpay.EXAMPLE.com" export NBITCOIN_NETWORK="mainnet" export BTCPAYGEN_CRYPTO1="btc" export BTCPAYGEN_ADDITIONAL_FRAGMENTS="opt-save-storage-s" export BTCPAYGEN_REVERSEPROXY="nginx" export BTCPAYGEN_LIGHTNING="clightning" export BTCPAY_ENABLE_SSH=true . ./btcpay-setup.sh -i exit btcpay-setup.sh will then: Install Docker Install Docker-Compose Make sure BTCPay starts at reboot via upstart or systemd Setup environment variables to use BTCPay utilities Add BTCPay utilities in /usr/bin Start BTCPay Server

right but what are you having troubles with?
I'm inexperienced with Docker but i managed to create Dockerfile

Looks like it expects the env variables in an
.sh file? You can do that with something like this that sources them.
Regardless, looking at their site, I noticed they suggest having 80 GB of storage as a minimum.
Not sure where this lies with the use of a torrent in the fair use policy either. https://railway.app/legal/fair-use#

Fair Use
Railway is an infrastructure platform where you can provision infrastructure, develop with that infrastructure locally, and then deploy to the cloud.
Thanks for helping and saving me time, guess i keep it hosted somewhere else.
the sh file is only setting the variables, nothing is expecting the variables to be in the sh file, there's no need to overcomplicate this
Ohh yeah just noticed that, my bad haha, was tired.
no worries
