Monorepo

If I am inside monorepo how will assigning domain work I wanna asign domain in two aspects

lets say your monorepo has two services, this means you will need two railway services, and this also means each service will have its own domain

so change root directory?

yes, you would need to set the root directory in each of the services settings

oh and variables too?
I have dotenv-cli setup for my root hmmm
what if it's a shared monorepo tho

but then what about port
my backend is on 8000 and frontend on 3000

you still need two services

hmmm so technically how am I going to share stuff 😓

the source is still the same repo

I don't understandd
😅

by chance have you read that docs section i linked?

yea

I have this command setup to run everything

for now since I have not yet laid the build script to build my monorepo
not my main motive rn

you need two services, please reference the docs section i linked

ill check once again

i assume this is a frontend and backend?

yea

The start command can be overridden in the Railway settings ( eg. npm run start:backend and npm run start:frontend).

but I only have one service right 🤔

you need two services

that I get
but I don't get how will it be shared

the source of the service is the same repo

so i remove deployments from this?
the "root"

what

like the start commands

from deel I remove the commands to start?

how many services in your repo do you have? just a frontend and backend?

yes.

then you need 2 services, it looks like you have 3
one service for the frontend, and one service for the backend

and connect them both to the root of my monorepo but run only "one"
am I right?

you would need to set the appropriate build and start commands for both services

Ohk
I will try thanks

why does it keep on killing itself

you're on the trial plan, and are likely trying to use more than 512mb of ram

oh hm

upgrade time!!

yea

🥳

I just did

🥳 🥳
welcome to the club

haha
it still didn't work
idk wth is wrong
I am trying something else

did you get the same killed?

Yea

that's not ideal

Ohk i think it works now was a turbo repo issue ig

hobby plan is where it's at anyway

yea thats not a problem needed the upgrade either ways
but
my url doesn't serve anything
the app seems to be running

what status code do you get

404

I still see dev, please do not run anything in development mode

yea its on purpose

404 for every route?

yea

its compiling tho
so idk whats happening

the next app should compile (build) in the build stage, and you shouldn't run dev on railway

mhm
okay I will try build

next build and next start, that's all you should need, maybe some prisma stuff too

trying

so what kind of backend is this?
if next is the frontend

it's not a backend it's just some services which I need

welp you said yes to backend and frontend when I asked, so I can only go off what you said

Welp technically a backend over a backend
Hard to explain
:p
Okay build worked

🥳

deel-web:start: Error: Cannot find module '.prisma/client/index'

deel-web:start: Require stack:

this after I setup my services
I don't know whats wrong 🤔
maybe because they're sharing same scope and it's overwriting in some way
Works perfectly fine locally. So I am not sure

even though the two services share the same source they do not share the same filesystem

hmmm

what version of node are you using locally?

20.6.0

railway uses node 16 by default

idts that should be an issue here

oh you'd be surprised
I'm not saying it is the issue, but it couldn't hurt to try
unfortunately railway only supports up to node 18 natively
but let's try that anyway, set engines.node to 18 in your package.json

lemme try if its working on node 18
locallu

even if it does, railway is a docker environment, it's a whole other ball game if you never developed your app with a docker deployment in mind

The main issue is it's looking for prisma client and it's not able to find it
can test that
is their anyway to directly serve docker images then? that should be easier I could just publish images directly and have everything running but I am afraid that would need two services too?

there is, but that would require you write a dockerfile

completely fine w that too
If it saves me from two services somehow?

well if you know how to write a dockerfile, write the dockerfile and let railway build with the dockerfile
no need to publish an image

it will build the services itself?
or can I give it the whole monorepo and two ports two handle inside one service

you give it a Dockerfile and it will build the service using that dockerfile

hmm
is their any example of dockerfile for monorepo on railway?
For the services and stuff and handling the whole monorepo and all

FROM node

ARG RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT
ENV RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT=$RAILWAY_ENVIRONMENT


COPY . ./app
RUN cd ./app
RUN npm install
RUN npm run build
CMD npm run start

will something bare minimum like this work out of the box
like for domains too
or do I need to write docker file for each.
Idk whats wrong sometimes it deploys just fine
and sometimes it doesn't want to
ik it doesn't make sense but that is what is happening
"build": "dotenv -e ../../.env prisma db push && dotenv -e ../../.env prisma generate && next build",
this is how my build script looks\ rn it says prisma client generated toodeel-web:start: Error: Cannot find module '.prisma/client/index'` but it's disappearing apparantely
it's strange sometimes it wants to work sometimes it doesn't
Lemme know if anyone has anything for me 😦
do these services run in different environment
or same
I get my one service running and other stops working gives me a feeling that theyre running in shared context
( hard to debug things as well )
