Migrating from Fly.io
So i have an app on Node.js with express server and stuff, MongoDB, Bunny CDN.
I want to deploy it to Railway.
I want to know how's it done. Can i deploy my app using same dockerfile with Railway CLI ? or i need to setup Prisma for the todos and ... i don't know what then yet..
In other words my question is: what's the plan when i have a ready to go app on my laptop and i just want it up an running in the clouds?

Project ID:
N/Aif you have an app in a github repo with a dockerfile that works on fly, it should by all means work on railway without issue
you would of course need to copy your mongo data from from to railway though
ad08a77d-aad2-49a5-a577-35ef1db977ff
supposed to be proj id
project ids are really only needed if theres an issue with the platform
1. no github repo i have. can make.
2. i have to migrate DB ? can't keep my routes and logic? have to turn to Prisma in order to?
1. then you can use the cli with
railway up the same as you do with fly and their cli
2. well i assume you want to run mongo on railway too, so yeah you would need bring your data over, unless im wrong and you use atlas?so when i deloy to Fly i use powershell and fom project folder pun 'fly deploy' . Is it how it's done with Railway cli or is it anouter way
fly deploy -> railway up
same thingi meant i work with remote db at mongo.* not my deployment . just http routes.
oh so you use mongo atlas?
i guess so : ) i just set it up and it works.
where can i get the client?
that github repo in the last messages in | cli chat ? i found it.
thanks for help ποΈ

coming to railway, you will need to know such things as where your database is hosted
https://docs.railway.app/guides/cli#installing-the-cli
all works. my app is up!
thanks for support. i really needed it after a bunch of unsuccessful battles with Fly.
cheers
happy to help
i have one other question then: )
i'd like to know how to make the cli to patch the image instead of uploading the whole thing over again. by default it seems to send it whole.
2nd time the build was 4 times faster but uploading was same as the first. is there a tweak to tell it to upload only modified layers.
your project will always be uploaded in full, and railway already does layer caching
ok. got it.
i like it logs to powershell. very handy!
indeed!
omg. filter for logs! i'm crying
it's not just good. it's got easter eggs here and there!
check out this page - https://railway.app/features
cool. thnx.
can i use A and AAA recs for domain? i see only CNAME option
you can only use CNAMEs as railway does not provide static IPs yet
ah i see. i got that issue with "redirected too many times" . figuring it out. any clue?
yeah i read this. but didn't find where to set up the ssl thing. i get it it's at Railway side huh?
that's in cloudflare
it's flattered
I'm sorry I don't know what that means
found it
successfullyy happy migrated!
