hey guys, so i wanna ask, when i deploy my apps for the first time

im using this commands for the nixpacks
composer install && php artisan optimize && php artisan storage:link && php artisan migrate --force

should i change the nixpacks command when i redeploy the apps into the better version like after bugfixing etc?

i lost the data when i redeploy the apps with the nixpacks composer install && php artisan optimize && php artisan storage:link && php artisan migrate:refresh --force

and when i redeploy again with this command
composer install && php artisan optimize && php artisan migrate --force

i lost the photo, like this

can i get the link for the picture again? i have no idea and it's frustrating since this is the UAT phase for the apps :((( the app is being developed as my final project for graduation

Railway's default file storage is ephemeral. If you would like your files to persist between deployments, save them to a volume https://docs.railway.app/reference/volumes

I'm not sure what you mean by this. If you need to change your start command, you can change it. Otherwise, there is no need to change it.

i already have the volume here

#

and also the image path is the same as before, but i dont know why it shows like this

#

Looks to me like you're storing the png paths in the volume, but not the images themselves

#

Without more information about your app, I won't be able to help. Are you logging the image finding failures? What's your stack?

this is the logging

do you have a volume on your app? (not the database)

trim bough do you have a volume on your app? (not the database)

how can i check it?

trim bough Jan 12, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

look at your apps service, does it have a volume?

worthy tree Jan 12, 2024, 3:22 AM

#

no it doesnt have any volume

trim bough Jan 12, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

then adam is right, you are only saving data about the file in the database, but arent saving your images anywhere.

have a look at this guide please https://docs.railway.app/guides/volumes

#

now i have the volume right?

trim bough Jan 12, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

yes!

#

now you just need to save the pngs to it, and load them back from it

#

not a super railway related question, first read the guide (bottom half of it)
then maybe check out some online guides on how to read/write files from a certain directory
