PR Environment Selective Services

In a Railway project, is there a way to choose which services are and are not duplicated in PR environments? For example, I have prod data backup job services that only should run on prod and don't need to run in any PR envs, but they get installed in all PR envs because the base env is prod If not, consider this a feature request (I can send in #🤗｜feedback )! My other idea was to make a separate project with services I don't want duplicated in PR envs.

Postgres Backup Retention Policy

I am planning on backing up a postgres server (running in container on Railway) to MinIO (running in container on Railway as well) with cron as the execution layer to initiate backups. Any suggestions for setting up backup retention policies so I don't fill MinIO with an unnecessary number of backup files? Hosted/managed providers like AWS RDS and Azure Database offer built-in retention control, but im not sure how to do this with self-hosted postgres & minio on railway

S3 database backup upload failure

Project ID: 23ed6b6a-6136-418a-97cc-5a45a9a559ba Using the template here (https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/postgres-s3-backups), I suppose I have the environment variables messed up. The job works great until the upload. I get the following error:

Any ideas? I can share env vars if needed. I am uploading over S3 protocol to a MinIO bucket hosted in the same Railway project

Cross-organization service transfer

Is it possible to transfer a service between two organizations (admin on both), or do I have to remake the service in the other organization? I would like to keep the same generated Railway URL if possible so would rather transfer it. Only see the ability to transfer from personal services

GitHub Actions deploy failure

Using the GH Actions demo here: https://blog.railway.app/p/github-actions#lights,-camera,-action, I get

Run railway up
/home/runner/work/_temp/e3d563cb-b24e-404b-9356-546af609cf1b.sh: line 1: railway: command not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

on the deploy step. railway bin is installed in the previous step so not sure what the issue is. Does anyone have an alternative GH Action manifest they use, or has had success with https://github.com/marketplace/actions/railway-deploy or similar?

Containerfile support

I understand Railway automatically detects and use Dockerfiles in service roots (https://docs.railway.app/guides/dockerfiles). Does it also automatically detect and use Containerfiles?

Compose Alternatives

I understand Railway does not currently support Docker Compose files directly. Are there alternatives to hosting a complex Compose stack on Railway using e.g. Railway config (https://docs.railway.app/deploy/config-as-code) or similar, or is it best to look for another cloud provider for a Compose stack? Basically, curious about alternatives that don't involve manually creating a lot of Railway services based on individual docker images 1 by 1

Bun

Hey, I am running a service on Bun on Railway. The deployment is crashing after a successful build. I am using the Node.js nixpacks builder (v1.17.0), Node.js 18.17.1. Head of the logs:

/app/node_modules/yoga-layout-prebuilt/yoga-layout/build/Release/nbind.js:53
throw ex;
^
Error: Could not locate the bindings file. Tried:
→ /app/node_modules/@ponder/core/node_modules/better-sqlite3/build/better_sqlite3.node
→ /app/node_modules/@ponder/core/node_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Debug/better_sqlite3.node

[...]

Everything works locally with the same environment. I did have to add "better-sqlite3" to trustedDependencies due to Bun security (https://bun.sh/guides/install/trusted)

Can't invite user to team

Hey, I sent an email about this last week, I tried inviting a user to a Railway team I created, and a Railway account was created for their email address, however they have no option to connect to nor visibility of the team. Could you please connect that account to the team as an admin? Thank you! (email address & team name redacted for privacy)

Prepaid team plan

Is there any way to prepay for the team plan, or is usage-based the only option? Also, to clarify, the team plan does not offer a $5 credit, correct?

Data security

Hey, I am proposing moving a client from AWS to Railway and they are mostly on board, however they are concerned about data security. The persistent data involves patient/medical data Does Railway have something similar to https://aws.amazon.com/security that outlines security railguards, audits, etc. that I can show the client?
