Deploying a django site that works in a devcontainer to Railway

Hi folks. I must confess to being a little new to this whole infra stuff. I know I can use templates from Railway but I have an existing Github repo with a Django project and I want to deploy it to Railway. It seems to build fine but will not deploy. It has a Docker file used for the devcontainer. What pre-requisites are there to get a Github Django project with Docker file to deploy to Railway?

It is basically a docker image created by vscode that also lets you work in a vscode instance in the container https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers

FROM python:3.10-slim

# Keeps Python from generating .pyc files in the container
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1

# Turns off buffering for easier container logging
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy in requirements.txt

# Install requirements
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Copy in everything else

and then you want to bring the contents of the /optics folder out into the root of the repo
