Is there a way to translate my docker-compose file to a railway config file?

I'm new to railway and I was trying to create a railway.json file do describe my deployment but it seems that this can only be used to describe my app (not including its services). Is there a way to transform my existing docker-compose file into a descriptor that I can use instead of having to fiddle around on the Railway UI? This is what I have for reference (I omitted the details):

version: "3.7"

services:

    postgres:
        image: postgres
    tempo:
        image: grafana/tempo:latest
    prometheus:
        image: prom/prometheus:latest
    grafana:
        image: grafana/grafana:10.1.1

version: "3.7"

services:

    postgres:
        image: postgres
    tempo:
        image: grafana/tempo:latest
    prometheus:
        image: prom/prometheus:latest
    grafana:
        image: grafana/grafana:10.1.1

You would need to create separate services for each of them, docker-compose isn't supported yet You might want to take a look at the marketplace to find pre-existing templates for the service you want to use. - postgres: https://railway.app/template/postgres - grafana: https://railway.app/template/anURAt - prometheus: https://railway.app/template/KmJatA I couldn't find one for tempo Alternatively, you could write your own dockerfiles, eg. dockerfile.grafana, dockerfile.tempo, and so on, and point them to Railway

i think i'll just leave things as-is until i can use some sort of IaC descriptor i don't really care if it is docker-compose or something else do you have plans to support this config as code use case (describe the whole project, not just services individually)

(Jeremy doesn't work for railway)

Hexworker•3w ago

do you?

Brody•3w ago

yes and what Jeremy said is entirely correct

Hexworker•3w ago

so I can set up my project by clicking through, but what would be really awesome is if I had a d escriptor (like this docker compose file) that I can use locally like

railway deploy-project local

railway deploy-project local

or remotely onto Railway like

railway deploy-project remote

railway deploy-project remote

and it would use the same file so I can have consistent environments both locally and remotely and whenever I change this file it would apply the changes to my project

there's a community developed terraform provider, but if I recall correctly it has it's shortcomings, otherwise you need to create the services manually as per Jeremy's message

i don't really want to use terraform NGL thanks anyway
