Complex deploy start commands don't work for me
Can't use complex instructions in Settings -> Deploy -> Start Command. I'm running a Django application using a Dockerfile for app build. When I use something like gunicorn app.wsgi --timeout 300 as a start command, it works perfectly fine. But if I try this: python manage.py migrate && gunicorn english_exercises_app.wsgi --timeout 300 Then only the first part of the command (before &&) is executed. I tried using railway.json file for indicating the start command, but the issue still persists. This is true for any complex command I tried. GitHub repo: https://github.com/tmvfb/english-exercises-app Example deployment ID with the mentioned complex start command: 5ed77a3e-7573-477b-8b68-9ce06b239124 Deploy logs stop at this (i.e. completing python manage.py migrate command): 
Operations to perform:
Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, exercises, sessions, users
Running migrations:
No migrations to apply.

I've found several examples of railway deploy using complex start commands and didn't find any issues related to this. Is there something I am doing wrong?
