Thanks a lot, when I created this project I was totally new to Strapi/Railway database handling

oh strapi, then you want to use postgres, no volume needed and if youre gonna lose your data anyway, start fresh with this template https://railway.app/template/strapi (read the overview)

And if I copy ths project locally, any chance to save data? Any chance that error 503 disappear if I wait?

I have tested to make a single restart a all data is back πŸ˜„ I am blessed by the gods. I saw that strapi transfer now exists to pull data from the remote to a local instance BUT if strapi 4.10 is installed. Is it possible to update the strapi version without losing data? We would have to redeploy in this case, right? and the data would be lost?

I'm sorry it totally slipped my mind that restarts don't kill the container, I was thinking you'd have to do a full redeploy to get your service back online unless strapi provides a way to update itself through it's web ui, you would definitely need to do a redeploy to update the strapi version since there's no terminal access
