It depends on how you're building your container image- are you using the default Nixpacks builder?
If I remember correctly, the containers are Debian/Ubuntu based but I could be wrong
If so, it's Ubuntu
Yes, I'm deploying my Java17 code directly from GitHub.
But do you have a Dockerfile?
No.
Solution
Then Ubuntu.
You can use the JAVA_OPTS environment variable to set JVM options.
Thanks! Is that in the docs somewhere? I've never used that before.
Yep - take a look at https://nixpacks.com/docs/providers/java#start
Java | Nixpacks
App source + Nix packages + Docker = Image
So it looks like I need to add
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xmx8m in some env variable?Ooops, did that close the thread?
No
Looks like something you add to
railway.toml?Nope, just put
JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx8m in your service's Variables tab.
I mean, you can use railway.toml, but the web interface is often easier
