Deploy using CI/CD Github Actions

I created a simple script to deploy my backend using github actions and workflow. Could someone help me? Deploy do Backend na Railway deploy-backend: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout the code uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Set up Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v2 with: node-version: '18.x' - name: Install Railway CLI run: npm install -g @railway/cli - name: Inject Railway Token env: RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }} run: echo "RAILWAY_TOKEN is set up." - name: Deploy Backend on Railway working-directory: ./packages/backend run: railway up

deploy.yml

what seems to be the issue?

Well, you could skip the entire install node/cli part by using the docker image directly Also, you need to provide service name using the respective flag

I am looking to create a script with CI to deploy just the backend on railway. I created a Monorepo and the frontend is on vercel and backend should be in Railway

deploy-job:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  container: ghcr.io/railwayapp/cli:latest
  env:
    SVC_ID: my-service
    RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }}
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - run: railway up --service=${{ env.SVC_ID }}

deploy-job:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  container: ghcr.io/railwayapp/cli:latest
  env:
    SVC_ID: my-service
    RAILWAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.RAILWAY_TOKEN }}
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - run: railway up --service=${{ env.SVC_ID }}

two major differences are: 1. use docker image directly instead of installing the cli via npm 2. --service flag that tells to which service to deploy

Awesome I will 😄

maddsua•4w ago

well, this should work without an issue this is how I deploy my stuff to railway you'd only need to update working directory to the one containing your actual code

Run railway up --project=1838b8e6-6a84-4a60-9033-3b38888c4746 error: unexpected argument '--project' found tip: to pass '--project' as a value, use '-- --project' Usage: railway up [OPTIONS] [PATH] For more information, try '--help'. Error: Process completed with exit code 2. I received this error on Github CI terminal

may I ask what's the --project argument doing there? I don't think the cli even has an arg like that when running in ci mode you need to provide project token with RAILWAY_TOKEN env var and a service name with --service argument

IgorKalielOP•4w ago

Run railway up --service=1838b8e6-6a84-4a60-9033-3b38888c4746 Service not found Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

honestly I don't remember if we support account-scoped access tokens and setting project id via a flag atm you need to use service name, not it's id because at the time when I was working on fixing ci mode, adding support for that would involve rewriting too much stuff

IgorKalielOP•4w ago

Great, helped me. I will change here

ThallesComH•4w ago

could i ask why you arent using the default Railway's build system?

IgorKalielOP•4w ago

I would like to make a CI in a Monorepo send a project Next to Vercel and Backend on Railway

maddsua•4w ago

real unbelievable but there are people who don't deploy everything to railway

ThallesComH•4w ago

but you can deploy a monorepo on Railway https://docs.railway.app/guides/monorepo

IgorKalielOP•4w ago

Okay so do you have a example of CI like a file I sent here?

maddsua•4w ago

umm if you wanna use monorepo support you don't need to configure gh actions, it's configured in railway dashboard you gotta link a repo to a service first, and then play with the settings a bit
