N/Athere isn't anymore, would you mind sharing your usecase?
@Brody I'd like to have an encrypted secrets file (SECRET=NAME) and be able to programatically update the server vars from that file. Similar to
heroku config:set
i.e. configuring the server via UI allows for all sorts of mistakes and doesn't encode the process in code so other eng can replicate / rererunthe original command that let you do that was never dealing with a physical file, it was just calling the api to add variables to your service on railway.
that functionality alone is easy enough to implement and I'm sure if someone wrote a pr for it the team would merge it.
but for others to replicate your project with the exact same set of variables you would want to create a template!
Yeah, not interested in a physical file—want to pipe shell vars into stdin and have
railway variables set update the prod config.
https://docs.railway.app/guides/manage-variables looks like The Way. Didn't realize there was a public api. awesome.cf14aa29-3b66-4444-88c0-9a957991682d
