Connecting PostgresSQL <> DBGate - where to find the server url?
I am trying to connect DBGate to my PostgresSQL DB. Following what I have seen online on sites like answeroverflow, I have the following credentials filled: - server: ??? - port: 5432 - user : railway - password: $PGPASSWORD (value of this env variable) - default database: (blank) I am not sure which server url to use. I have tried the following but all do not work: - public networking url: roundhouse.proxy.rlwy.net:NNNNN (where NNNNN is a port number) - $DATABASE_URL - $DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL - my website domain name In other examples online, I see medium articles and such that find the server url in the Connections tab, but this tab no longer exists

is anyone getting timeout errors from the CLI?
When I try to run railway commands from the CLI, it just hangs and times out: e.g. railway run npm start, railway login, railway run npx ts-node [file_name].ts, etc. Is there a service interruption? I can't find news of it anywhere

Best practice for uploading images or files - React + Express stack
Hi there, a bit of a noob and maybe silly question (and I could not find a a resource that discussed this) but is there a best practice for where and to upload images using React+Express+Railway? My folder structure is: 
📂 client/
  |_ {React frontend code is here ...}
  |_ 📁 build/
  |_ 📂 public/
    |_ 📂 avis/
      |_ {user uploaded jpg files stored here}

📂 server/
  |_ {server code is here ...}
📂 client/
  |_ {React frontend code is here ...}
  |_ 📁 build/
  |_ 📂 public/
    |_ 📂 avis/
      |_ {user uploaded jpg files stored here}

📂 server/
  |_ {server code is here ...}
Right now, when someone uploads a file, it is saved in /client/public/avis. While this works in dev, I realized it doesn't work in prod since I need to make a build each time I want the new pics to be actually uploaded. My proposed solution is that I instead save the files in /client/build/avis/ but I am a bit unsure of this for the following reasons: 1. I don't know if I can persist the data between the railway container(?) and my local machine if I want to make changes to the code 2. I anticipate that then making changes in the dev environment would get a bit sloppy, conceptually speaking because I will now need to manage assets between /client/public/ and /client/build/ . It just seems... wrong? What is the best practice of where to store images that users can upload in a React+Express+Railway stack?
