Specify service to deploy using `railway up`

  deploy-production-instance:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: docker-release
    steps:
      - name: Set up CLI
        run: npm i -g @railway/cli

      - name: Deploy
        run: railway up --detach
        env:
          RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }}

How do I specify the service to be deployed?

Brody•5mo ago

have you tried running railway up --help ?

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

yeah. does the default command deploy all the services? since I have a docker image

Brody•5mo ago

no, please see what the help flag prints

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

it says deploys project from CWD.

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

i dont have a project in CWD

Brody•5mo ago

you do when deploying from a github action

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

nope, if you take a look at my action, there is no checkout step. does not make sense to checkout the repo since i dont have any configuration in it at all. I want the deploy to happen on railway.

Brody•5mo ago

ah just thought it wasnt complete

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

i have a docker image and pg deployed on railway so i should be able to trigger deployments from CI, right?

Brody•5mo ago

i feel like im missing some context here, what do you hope to achieve running railway up without a project

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

the docker image is set up to use :latest on Railway. So once the docker image is published (docker-release job in my workflow file), I want to deploy the latest tag on railway too.

Brody•5mo ago

okay cool, where does railway up come into play here?

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

Should i be using railway redeploy?

Brody•5mo ago

i think you have a misunderstanding of what railway up does?

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

possibly. i used the blog on gh actions.

Brody•5mo ago

that was for deploying a github repo yes

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

makes sense. If i do not specify --service to redeploy, would it re-deploy the pg instance as well?

Brody•5mo ago

not sure, think it would choose the most recently modified service, or it would tell you that you have not selected a service

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

why does it want me to be authenticated if i already provided a token?

Brody•5mo ago

what kind of token is that

IgnisDaOP•5mo ago

got it from here

Brody•5mo ago

try an account api token?
