Deploying using RedwoodJS and postgreSQL

[rain wedge]

Hello!

This is my first ever attempt at deploying and this is my first use of a database.

I'm trying to deploy a project I created using RedwoodJS and I initially created the project using Redwood's default DB SQLite, but now that I'm trying to convert the DB to postgreSQL and deploy using Railway, the build is failing.

When I use 'railway up' command I specifically get 'Error: No start command could be found'

I can't see any other errors, I've installed postgreSQL and its showing on Railway, I feel like I've missed something along the way, I have been trying to piece it together using Railway docs and a quick guide I saw by ajcwebdev.

I feel like I've messed something up in the schema file? Specifically this:

datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

Any help is appreciated!

How do you usually start your app?

[rain wedge]

with the command 'yarn rw dev'

[forest geode]

in production too or do you use something like yarn rw start?

I believe this command is for development use only. Follow https://redwoodjs.com/docs/quick-start#ship-it.

Okay, so I think I may understand a bit more where I've gone wrong.

According to https://redwoodjs.com/docs/tutorial/chapter4/deployment

I need to delete all my previous migrations and update my .env file which I have not done, then hopefully I'm a step further?

Yeah... Probably... You need to generate migrations for PostgreSQL before you do anything else. But this should be the part of the building process.
