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

BoxerOP•3mo ago

:cat_woah:

Brody•3mo ago

you are thinking of a railway.json file

BoxerOP•3mo ago

that's true

Brody•3mo ago

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

BoxerOP•3mo ago

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

BoxerOP•3mo ago

Brody•3mo 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

BoxerOP•3mo ago

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

Brody•3mo ago

gotcha what are you using? nx, turbo?

BoxerOP•3mo ago

turbo adding the nixpacksconfigpath might be working'

BoxerOP•3mo ago

Brody•3mo ago

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

BoxerOP•3mo ago

yeah for formatting i think this might work

BoxerOP•3mo ago

looks like it deployed

BoxerOP•3mo ago

waiting on website to appear 🤞 https://landing-production-7ab3.up.railway.app

Brody•3mo ago

there is no waiting, that is a 404 that caddy is returning

BoxerOP•3mo ago

Oh 😭

Brody•3mo ago

BoxerOP•3mo ago

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I thought caddy run apps/landing/Caddyfile was the way to do it I see, i tested locally and i also get a blank page the fix was to fix this line in the Caddyfile

    root * apps/landing/dist

    root * apps/landing/dist

Brody•3mo ago

i was right 🙂

BoxerOP•3mo ago

always i never worked with caddy so didnt understand at first thanks!

Brody•3mo ago
