Github actions testing and Railway CLI
I'm setting up Github actions in my repo to run my e2e testing before deploying to Railway. I need to use my environment variables from Railway for this (connection strings, etc)
I'm using secrets in Github with a project token to authenticate.
Whenever it gets to the testing step, I get this error:
Multiple services found. Please specify a service to pull variables from.
I only have one service, with one environment 'production', and just this one token.
This is what my Github action looks like for the test step:
And my test script starts the server like this: railway run npm run start
Can I get any assistance with setting this up properly?
I used this page: https://blog.railway.app/p/github-actions and the docs to set it up and from my understanding it seems correct.
Please and thank you!10 replies
Rate limiting and reverse proxy
Howdy!
I'm just now getting to setting up my web app to be hosted via Railway. It's an Express app written in JS.
When I hosted it locally, I had it set up behind a reverse proxy, so I'd set
trust proxy' to 1 and call it good.
I want to configure a rate limiter on my application to help protect some endpoints, but can't seem to find the proper trust proxy to set for this. No matter the number I set, requests still look like they're coming from the Railway proxy.
Any suggestions for configuring this setting or setting up rate limiting for my application on Railway?7 replies
Deploying a monorepo on one domain
I know the traditional monorepo structure may separate a frontend and a backend, but let's say I want to separate a client-frontend and an admin-frontend.
Both of these will be run using their own express instance, with separate ports.
They would be accessed like such:
Client - www.domain.com/client
Admin - www.domain.com/admin
Where domain.com is the same domain name.
Can this be done with Railway or will they require separate domain name registrations?

Pricing/resource question
Here's a silly question, how should I decide on what plan to use for hosting?
I'm pretty dumb at this stuff.
I'll be hosting what should ultimately be the site & service for a small business, plus a redis database. I'm not really sure how I want to estimate usage.
Another dumb question, will the utilized resources scale up based on how busy the service is or do I preset my desired utilization limit?
i.e. during busier times, can the plan ramp up to use more memory/cpu depending on how busy the server is at the time?
Thanks
