Caddy in a monorepo?

I was following your template @Brody to deploy vite with Caddy https://github.com/brody192/vite-react-template/blob/main/Caddyfile in my monorepo but I think my nixpacks.toml is not getting picked up. f78d75b5-8972-4d61-8517-22bbccefb41e I created a file for my landing page in deployments/landing-nixpacks.toml

# https://nixpacks.com/docs/configuration/file

# set up some variables to minimize annoyance
[variables]
NPM_CONFIG_UPDATE_NOTIFIER = 'false' # the update notification is relatively useless in a production environment
NPM_CONFIG_FUND = 'false'            # the fund notification is also pretty useless in a production environment

[phases.build]
cmds = ['pnpm --filter landing build']

# download caddy from nix
[phases.caddy]
dependsOn = [
    'setup',
] # make sure this phase runs after the default 'setup' phase
nixpkgsArchive = 'ba913eda2df8eb72147259189d55932012df6301' # Caddy v2.8.4 - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/ba913eda2df8eb72147259189d55932012df6301
nixPkgs = ['caddy'] # install caddy as a nix package

# format the Caddyfile with fmt
[phases.fmt]
dependsOn = [
    'caddy',
] # make sure this phase runs after the 'caddy' phase so that we know we have caddy downloaded
cmds = [
    'caddy fmt --overwrite Caddyfile',
] # format the Caddyfile to fix any formatting inconsistencies

# start the caddy web server
[start]
cmd = 'exec caddy run --config apps/landing/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile 2>&1' # start caddy using the Caddyfile config and caddyfile adapter

# https://nixpacks.com/docs/configuration/file

# set up some variables to minimize annoyance
[variables]
NPM_CONFIG_UPDATE_NOTIFIER = 'false' # the update notification is relatively useless in a production environment
NPM_CONFIG_FUND = 'false'            # the fund notification is also pretty useless in a production environment

[phases.build]
cmds = ['pnpm --filter landing build']

# download caddy from nix
[phases.caddy]
dependsOn = [
    'setup',
] # make sure this phase runs after the default 'setup' phase
nixpkgsArchive = 'ba913eda2df8eb72147259189d55932012df6301' # Caddy v2.8.4 - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/ba913eda2df8eb72147259189d55932012df6301
nixPkgs = ['caddy'] # install caddy as a nix package

# format the Caddyfile with fmt
[phases.fmt]
dependsOn = [
    'caddy',
] # make sure this phase runs after the 'caddy' phase so that we know we have caddy downloaded
cmds = [
    'caddy fmt --overwrite Caddyfile',
] # format the Caddyfile to fix any formatting inconsistencies

# start the caddy web server
[start]
cmd = 'exec caddy run --config apps/landing/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile 2>&1' # start caddy using the Caddyfile config and caddyfile adapter

But i noticed the configs in the service settings are not getting overriden :/

values in the nixpacks.toml file can not overwrite anything in the service settings

:cat_woah:

Brody•2mo ago

you are thinking of a railway.json file

Boxer•2mo ago

that's true

Brody•2mo ago

but other than that what makes you think it's not being used? have you checked the build table?

Boxer•2mo ago

i see there's a nixpacksConfigPath in the railway config maybe ill try that yeah

Boxer•2mo ago

Brody•2mo ago

you shouldn't need that perhaps you have not set the root directory correctly? have you read my guide? - https://docs.railway.app/tutorials/deploying-a-monorepo

Boxer•2mo ago

Yea quite a bit, this is a shared package monorepo so that wouldn't work

Brody•2mo ago

gotcha what are you using? nx, turbo?

Boxer•2mo ago

turbo adding the nixpacksconfigpath might be working'

Boxer•2mo ago

Brody•2mo ago

you may need to adjust the the root directory in the Caddyfile

Boxer•2mo ago

yeah for formatting i think this might work
