Cannot see Deployments for my server

[gusty dove]

Hello!

I have made a Railway server to host a THREE.js server for my group project with two buddies of mine. They are part of my Github repo and can commit to main. However when just try to see the website, all I see is a older version of our app. All mine changes are visible to them.
What would be the cause to this problem?

(If further info needed just ask me)

can you show the build history and the commit hashes of the commits you think should be deployed

[gusty dove]

I have found that opening in different browser fixed it. So it's something to do with a cache from this post maybe?

Hey i am facing the similar error can't see the deployment link for the app

@frank axle can you help here ?

[frank axle]

can you confirm this is not a caching issue

[scarlet geyser]

No this is not

I had tried redeploying

[frank axle]

can your provide more information

[scarlet geyser]

More info as in ?

[frank axle]

build logs

comit history

maybe a link to the repo / site if you can

[gusty dove]

use incognito window to test it

it works in the incognito window

[frank axle]

then this means its a problem with your aplication and its cache headers

[scarlet geyser]

build is fine

and also deploying the latest commit

[frank axle]

can you open a incognito tab and confirm its still not working

[gusty dove]

what would be a fix for this?

[frank axle]

correcting the cache headers. i dont know what your stack is so i cant tell

[gusty dove]

it's just Railway and THREE.js

[scarlet geyser]

Tried in incognito still the same issue

[frank axle]

three is a client side libary. i need to know how your serving your requests

[scarlet geyser]

Mine is just a nodejs server

[frank axle]

can you show the comit history

[scarlet geyser]

I got the fix i forgot to generate public domain for it

btw thanks for the help

[gusty dove]

sorry, I am not that good with Web tech. Could you tell me how do I go about checking that?

[frank axle]

nice!

[frank axle]

is your repo open source?

[gusty dove]

it's a private repo but I can open it

[frank axle]

nah dw. what maybe just send the package.json

[gusty dove]

I didn't use Node.js so I have none, maybe that is the problem?

https://github.com/karlojacmenjak/mmi_projekt_threejs

well, here's the repo

[frank axle]

oh its a static site

are you using the staic file provider

[gusty dove]

no, not to my knowledge

[frank axle]

what does this part look like

[gusty dove]

{
"$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
"build": {
"builder": "NIXPACKS"
},
"deploy": {
"restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
"restartPolicyMaxRetries": 10
}
}

same as yours

[frank axle]

and the top of your build logs?

[frank axle]

ah i see

you need an nginx cofig

im not actually sure how to change that. Try putting a config in the assets folder. ( maybe ) you can use that to change the chache headers

1 sec

[gusty dove]

like a nginx.conf file?

[frank axle]

yea

[gusty dove]

I will need to figure out how to do that

[frank axle]

yea. 1 sec

just finding one

but im very distracted rn lol

[gusty dove]

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/full/

i found one already

[frank axle]

ah perfect

fyi this is the template your app is using atm. so if you have any issues with config refer to this

   daemon off;
        error_log /dev/stdout info;
        worker_processes  auto;
        events {{
            worker_connections  1024;
        }}
        
        http {{
            {mime_types}
            access_log /dev/stdout;
            default_type  application/octet-stream;
            sendfile       on;
            keepalive_timeout  60;
            types_hash_max_size 4096;
            server {{
                listen    0.0.0.0:80;
                gzip        {gzip};
                root      /app/{root};
                location / {{
                    {auth_basic}
                    autoindex {directory};
                }}
        {error_page}
            }}
        }}

( its a template literall so you have to substitue values)

https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks/blob/main/src/providers/staticfile.rs#L107

[gusty dove]

so I have to put values instead of {} brackets right, but what do I put there? Should I for example put the domain instead of listen or?

[frank axle]

gzip: on
directory: off ( i think )
root: get rid of the route part

you can get rid of the auth basic part i think

 daemon off;
        error_log /dev/stdout info;
        worker_processes  auto;
        events {{
            worker_connections  1024;
        }}
        
        http {{
            include                mime.types;
            access_log /dev/stdout;
            default_type  application/octet-stream;
            sendfile       on;
            keepalive_timeout  60;
            types_hash_max_size 4096;
            server {{
                listen    0.0.0.0:80;
                gzip        on;
                root      /app/
                location /
       
            }}
        }}

maybe try that

and tbh idk know if the config will get used i have no idea
