Strapi Deployment "Application failed to respond"

Hello, my deployment went through and the build logs tell me the Strapi server is running. (see Screenshot) However when i hit the url in the browser it says application failed to respond. I feel like i forgot one step or something?

please see this docs page https://docs.railway.app/guides/fixing-common-errors

zomh•3mo ago

already checked that page and added RAILWAY_TCP_PROXY_PORT 1337 to env variables not sure if that was the right move though can i not upload picture in here?

Brody•3mo ago

yeah whats going on with these images? that is not the move at all, please read the docs page i linked or just use this server.js file https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/strapi/blob/main/config/server.js

i read it again maybe i dont understand. it says to put the host to 0.0.0.0 and port to whatever it provides but i don't see a service variable "port". let me try one more screenshot

^ though you seem to only be skim reading the docs page i linked

zomh•3mo ago

i don't really want to use the Strapi template. I got a monorepo setup and the database is already deployed and i can connect to it form my local maschine

Brody•3mo ago

you are also skim reading what im saying 🫤 i never said to use the strapi template

zomh•3mo ago

let me read again

Brody•3mo ago

please do ^

zomh•3mo ago

okay you linked me a server.js

Brody•3mo ago

indeed

zomh•3mo ago

let me compare that to mine one sec

Brody•3mo ago

just use this server.js file

zomh•3mo ago

import type { EnvFunction } from "../types/shared/env";

export default ({ env }: { env: EnvFunction }) => ({
  host: env("BACKEND_HOST", "0.0.0.0"),
  port: env.int("BACKEND_PORT", 1337),
  app: {
    keys: env.array("BACKEND_APP_KEYS"),
  },
  webhooks: {
    populateRelations: env.bool("BACKEND_WEBHOOKS_POPULATE_RELATIONS", false),
  },
});

import type { EnvFunction } from "../types/shared/env";

export default ({ env }: { env: EnvFunction }) => ({
  host: env("BACKEND_HOST", "0.0.0.0"),
  port: env.int("BACKEND_PORT", 1337),
  app: {
    keys: env.array("BACKEND_APP_KEYS"),
  },
  webhooks: {
    populateRelations: env.bool("BACKEND_WEBHOOKS_POPULATE_RELATIONS", false),
  },
});

.env being

BACKEND_HOST=0.0.0.0 # *
BACKEND_PORT=1337 # *

BACKEND_HOST=0.0.0.0 # *
BACKEND_PORT=1337 # *

the deployment log within Railway shows me it's running on 0.0.0.0:1337 ( i can't screenshot for some reason)

just use this server.js file

zomh•3mo ago

Not trying to be difficult but do you see an issue with my server.js file? I can't really just change it since it's a monorepo

Brody•3mo ago

yes but i would like for you to come to the conclusion as to why its wrong, for that, you need to read the docs page i linked

I can't really just change it since it's a monorepo

im sorry, i cant see how that in any way would prevent you from using the server.js file i linked

zomh•3mo ago

from your linked server.js what's in URL? Is that the URL provided by Railway?

  url: env('URL'),
  proxy: true

  url: env('URL'),
  proxy: true

and the proxy is missing from mine too
