I'm installing a custom package in railway.yaml but getting pip error - how can I fix it?
railway.toml:
[build]
builder = "nixpacks"
buildCommand = "git clone https://username:[email protected]/org/my-module.git && cd my-module && pip install -e ."
logs:
0.278 Cloning into 'my-module'...
4.171 /bin/bash: line 1: pip: command not found
Why is this not working?

If your project isn’t detected as a python project (doesn’t have a main.py or isn’t the primary language) then you’ll have to tell nixpacks to install python. Create a nixpacks.toml file and add “python3” to the providers section
make sure to include the “…” as well as that tells nixpacks to install the detected packages as well

the real question is, why are you having your build clone a repo instead of letting railway's infra do that for you?
analog vapor
it seems that adding requirements.txt at project root fixed it - but I only need setup.py. Would that also work with nixpacks.toml if I remove requirements.txt?
@radiant pebble would love to hear the better alternative - this does feel clunky
I'm actually installing 6 different private module which makes for a very long and awkward buildCommand
radiant pebble
attach your repo to the service

That's what I've done for the main app, but it has deps on 6 private modules

Fair, this sounds like an absolute pain to do with nixpacks, i would highly recommend this be done with a Dockerfile
analog vapor
Thanks I will give it a go

@radiant pebble just checking; are you aware of any issues/downsides from using supervisord inside Dockerfile for managing long-running processes?
I would have them split as two railway services but both processes need access to a shared volume which AFAIK isn't possible.

I use supervisor on a demanding php-fpm service on Railway and never had any issues with it.
analog vapor
nice, good to hear!
analog vapor
Thanks, how can I avoid this Dockerfile caching? This layers runs git clone & pip install on repo's I've made commits to
radiant pebble
set a service variable NO_CACHE to 1

@radiant pebble please send me friend request if you're interested in paid work (deploying docker-compose to Railway)
