Hi @Andi. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
When your Wasp app works locally but fails to deploy to Railway, there are several common areas to check based on the knowledge sources:
1. Build Steps: Make sure you are following the correct build and deployment steps. For Railway, you should:
- Run
wasp build in your project directory.
- Deploy the server from .wasp/build and the client from .wasp/build/web-app, following the manual deployment instructions for each (Deploying the Server, Deploying the Client).
2. Environment Variables: Double-check that all required environment variables are set in Railway for both the server and client. Missing or incorrect variables (like DATABASE_URL, WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL, WASP_SERVER_URL, JWT_SECRET) are a common cause of deployment failures (Deploying the Server).
3. Docker Configuration: If you are using Docker, ensure your Dockerfile is set up correctly. For SPAs, you may need a custom nginx configuration to handle client-side routing, otherwise you might get 404 errors on non-root routes (Support one-line deployments to Railway, fully featured).
4. Static Hosting for Client: For the client, Railway recommends copying the build folder to dist and using a simple Dockerfile with pierrezemb/gostatic for static hosting (Deploying the Client).
5. Redeploying After Changes: If you make changes, always rebuild (wasp build) and redeploy both server and client (Updates & Redeploying).
6. Logs and Errors: Check the Railway build and runtime logs for specific error messages. Sometimes, missing dependencies (like libssl or npm packages) or build errors will be shown there (railway up fails to build docker container).
If you provide the specific error message from Railway, I can help you troubleshoot further. Otherwise, carefully reviewing the above areas is the best starting point.

I just switched to fly.io and it worked
@Andi if you have the chance, share the logs from Railway deployment - it would help us to learn more about what can be improved
