for future reference, stack overflow questions about railway go unanswered most of the time, just ask in discord

I'll be honest i don't like the fact that your solution involves storing your database url in a plaintext .env file, I've seen far too many users database urls in .env files, and I don't even work for railway!! you should forgo the .env file and use the railway cli with railway run that will temporarily inject the service variables into a new environment and then will run the given command https://docs.railway.app/guides/cli#local-development
