Issues connecting to Postgres Database after redeploying service
Hi, as part of performing the required database-migration, I've redeployed my service for the first time in ~8 months. Building the project still seemed to work just fine, but suddenly there's errors connecting to the database (even before migrating).
The strange thing is that (if I remember correctly) originally I was still able to interact with the (old) database before migrating, but after migrating, the server just crashes. This means the timeline is something like this:
1. For 8 months, the service worked well
2. Redeploying the service lead to database-connection-errors, but it was still possible to write/read the database
3. Migrating the databese results in BOTH database-connection-errors as well as crashes and the server becoming inoperable
What could be causing these issues?
I'm thinking that maybe port/environment-variables changed after the 8 months without my knowledge?
If I can provide any logs, I'd be happy to do so. 🙂

GitLab CICD-pipeline crashes due to timeout even though it succeeded on Railway
I have a GitLab-project where I use CI/CD to automatically publish on Railway.
The strange thing is: Even though the builds succeed on Railway (https://railway.app/project/626fb4c9-9809-46bf-93fc-20ad46e06119/service/e726226c-2658-48d4-8d2e-5c8fbf4477dc?id=66552804-4b4a-4421-9c73-9594c0bd12ad), they fail due to timeout on GitLab (https://gitlab.com/Glitchy-Tozier/voteon.date/-/jobs/2985073689).
Any idea what to do about this?

How to add Rust-project when using GitLab?
I use GitLab and thus can't log into my GitHub-account from Railway when using the "Rust Rocket"-template.
To work around this issue, I added an empty service. Now on this empty service, I can't build my server because
cargo isn't available.
What can I do to fix this issue?21 replies
How to use a custom domain
I know of those docs (https://docs.railway.app/deploy/exposing-your-app), but I've never done something like this before, so I'm not sure what to do.
Am I required to host my domain somewhere else and then somehow link it to railway?

Hosting when using Gitlab?
Hi there, I'm working on a project using Rust (with the Rocket-framework) and PostgreSQL.
How do I first get this Project up and running without needing to migrate to GitHub?
A few starting-points I looked at, all of which confused me:
1. https://railway.app/starters lists Rust Rocket, but doesn't show up when going for PostgreSQL. Additionally, it seems to be discontinued soon.
2. https://railway.app/button seems to require a GitHub-repo.
3. https://railway.app/dashboard has a New Project-button, but the following menus & environments also confuse me.
What's the recommended path in my situation?

Questions on Database-essentials
1. Are there automated database-backups? If yes, how do they work and how are they priced? I couldn't find much on the website / in the docs.
2. Some hosting-providers (such as fly.io, iirc) advertise local, cloned, readonly databases all over the world to allow for faster read-access. Does Railway.app offer something similar?
