Railway Deployment

Overview

Synqed can be deployed to Railway. The configuration lives in railway.toml.

Configuration

[build]
builder = "DOCKERFILE"
dockerfilePath = "Dockerfile"

[deploy]
healthcheckPath = "/api/health"
restartPolicyType = "ON_FAILURE"
restartPolicyMaxRetries = 5

Setup

1. Create the project

1. Open the Railway dashboard
2. "New Project" -> "Deploy from GitHub repo"
3. Connect the repository

2. Add PostgreSQL

1. In your project: "New" -> "Database" -> "Add PostgreSQL"
2. Railway sets DATABASE_URL automatically

3. Set environment variables

In the Railway dashboard under "Variables":

DISCORD_TOKEN=...
DISCORD_GUILD_ID=...
ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH=...
JWT_SECRET=...
DASHBOARD_URL=https://your-dashboard.railway.app

4. Dashboard service

Create a separate service for the dashboard:

1. "New" -> "Service"
2. Root directory: dashboard
3. Set the variables:

   BOT_API_URL=http://synqed-backend.railway.internal:3001
   NEXT_PUBLIC_BOT_API_URL=https://your-backend.railway.app

Health Check

The bot exposes /api/health. Railway uses this endpoint to monitor service status.

Automatic Deployment

Railway redeploys automatically on every push to the main branch.
