[@fabianj.c.q.7979]

hello there Gregory, i when open the generated url it say:
Application Error
Is your app correctly listening on $PORT?
:(

[@benjamine.ndugga729]

Hey @Dan how did you get to switch to the prod profile , I noticed this env variable "spring_profiles_active=prod" but I do not see it referenced in any of you .yml files

[@DavisTibbz]

Springboot will pick it up for you without explicitly listing it in yml

[@gtbaba123]

I have made SpringBoot and sql repo how i can deploy it on railway cz my project don't hv frontend

[@alexfabiansarabiatoledo5911]

Thanks for sharing Dan! This will be very usefull for my project, but I have a question...
Using Spring boot JPA we can generate automatically the tables on database from our model where we specify table and column names. Normally we can specify the type of "generation" of tables in application.properties with "spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create"... my question is: can we automatically generate the tables from model when the deploy is on Railway?

[@DanVega]

Yes! Did you give this a try, it should work with no problems.

[@ejimmichael5768]

my deployment is throwing several bean error. is there anything else you did before deploying?

[@matancita]

Can i create databases as the amount of storage service allow me?

[@harllemalvesdonascimento3316]

How can i stop my application? I only see the option to cancel deploy

[@luisvill0915]

I have a problem when I make post requests to the railway api. Basically it doesn't allow me.

[@wagnerdba]

nixpacks error on railway deploy how to solve?

[@TrickzHD]

not working for me, can you help me out? everything got deployed properly but when i go on the domain, i still receive whitelabel error

[@kelvinkirwa4887]

i end up railways page after deployment , what is the problem ?

[@francovedia5584]

gracias

[@flaviohnm]

Material muito bom!! Consegue replicar em um projeto pessoal!!

[@brenolins9908]

I got a error while the deploy, on Deploy logs says:" Error: Unable to access jarfile target/*jar "how can i solve this?

[@francislainycampos2035]

Do you have a Dockerfile that this is connecting to? I guess the error may be related to this. I'm not sure how to fix it keeping this file, but in my case I deleted it and it worked.

[@joshl.6826]

For me it turned out to be because I was using war in the pom.xml

[@eduardohilario1850]

I'm having a problem that says "Is your app listening correctly on $PORT?" How can I use this railway port?

[@infakobe3853]

[@UnPuntodeVista-do3ri]

¿Se puede usar POST en railway con spring?

[@Saiyan2003]

Sip

[@ratankumar-se9yu]

Not able to make post, put and delete request. It is only working with GET request

[@UnPuntodeVista-do3ri]

me pasa lo mismo, nose porque

[@jordanwiszniewski1722]

In my case to solve 405 error on POST request I just changed "http" to "https" and it worked.

[@gla9282]

Obrigado Gringo , Brazil

[@youneselhamss2908]

Nice! It kept failing before. Now it succeeds but keeps on crashing after a few minutes, please help

[@youneselhamss2908]

But why does it keep crashing??

[@benjamine.ndugga729]

I wonder how you can deploy it if you were using Docker

[@GregorySchier]

Railway will automatically use the Dockerfile for builds if it exists in the root of your project

[@benjamine.ndugga729]

@@GregorySchier I tried it , but Railway does not provide an option to compile and move the artifact to the artifact into the image. I do not want to have to move the src/ folder and compile the code from the image 🙂

[@el_yisusT]

x2

[@DavisTibbz]

Use the multi-stage build Dockerfile. Build the jar inside your image, and run it inside your image

[@PhamHuy-yw1ke]

u talk too fast to show off what ?
