413 or something right?
versed fern
yes so it seens
sterile gorge
can you confirm the error code for me?
versed fern
my deployment log shows
sterile gorge
i mean when you try to upload an image
versed fern
the form goes through and i get that error in the logs when the image tries to render
sterile gorge
please review the network logs in the dev tools during an image upload
versed fern
there is no error during the upload
only a 404 when there image is attempted to be previewed
sterile gorge
where are you saving the image?
versed fern
storage/app/public/
sterile gorge
are you using a volume?
versed fern
no
sterile gorge
you definitely want to be, otherwise your images wont persist between deployments
https://docs.railway.app/guides/volumes
versed fern
how do i set it up with laravel
sterile gorge
you save the files to the volume during upload
versed fern
in my code i use Storage::put(public/...) to store files, so do i have to mount my volume to /public ?
sterile gorge
try mounting the volume to /app/storage/uploads and then save the images to ./storage/uploads
versed fern
laravel file system looks like app/storage/app/public
sterile gorge
it was only a suggestion based on what has worked for other people in the past, you are free to mount the volume to whatever path works best for you
versed fern
try mounting the volume to `/app/storage/uploads` and then save the images to `....
have found the issue to be that when building the server is not running php artisan storage:link
sterile gorge
you would still need a volume no matter what, otherwise any file you uploaded is wiped when you make the next deployment
versed fern
yes, the issue am now facing is with the NIXPACKS_BUILD_CMD env values
it seems when i add multiple build commands i run into a build error, i tried adding "NIXPACKS_BUILD_CMD =npm run build && php artisan storage:link" just to confirm that the php artisan storage:link was the issue and the images did show, but other commands are not executed, when i added all the necessary build commands i run into an error
when i remove the env everything is added except the php artisan storage:link
sterile gorge
it would be far better for you to define these kinds of things in a nixpacks.toml file
https://nixpacks.com/docs/configuration/file
versed fern
am finding it difficult to apply this
sterile gorge
let's see what you have so far

try mounting the volume to `/app/storage/uploads` and then save the images to `....
I already have some images in the folder. Does adding volume on that path destroy everything that is already there?
sterile gorge
that's correct, volumes are not mounted as overlays
scarlet ermine
that's correct, volumes are not mounted as overlays
How can i manually put something in that folder from my PC?
sterile gorge
all volume access has to be done via the service it's attached to
versed fern
let's see what you have so far
[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['php' 'nodejs' 'composer']
[phases.install]
cmds = ['composer install', 'npm install']
[phases.build]
cmds = ['npm run build', 'php artisan optimize:clear']
[start]
cmd = 'php artisan storage:link'
it looks like its totally ignoring the file when building
sterile gorge
why do you think that?
versed fern
beacuse its not linking the storage
sterile gorge
does the build table at the top of the build logs reflect correctly with what you have set there?
versed fern
it looks like it doesnt
sterile gorge
did you name the file correctly? nixpacks.toml
versed fern
have named the file correctly and now the app as failed to build
Error: Failed to parse Nixpacks config file nixpacks.toml
sterile gorge
you dont need to specify every phase, just the phase you want to change
versed fern
My nixpacks.toml file
[phases.build]
cmds = ['npm run build', 'php artisan optimize:clear','php artisan storage:link']
the storage is now linked, thank you
sterile gorge
no problem!
