@safe crystal sorry for the ping but its in some urgency mode
safe crystal
i'm sorry but we don't offer urgent support for non-platform related issues, i will come back to this thread when i have some spare time or a community member may pop in to help you before that
obtuse fern
I’m deploying a simple frontend (built with Vite) on Railway using the default Railpack (no custom Dockerfile). Everything seems to build and deploy correctly, but all routes (even /) are returning 404 in the logs:

can you share your caddyfile?
obtuse fern
I have not explicitly defined the caddy configurations its just what logs files are showing so TL;DR I have no caddy file

just like to give you a friendly reminder that we do not offer urgent or any guarantee of a response within a specific time frame on the hobby plan, the conductors are volunteers, please be respectful of their time, and thank you for your patience.
obtuse fern
Hey Brody, totally understood — I really appreciate the work you and the other conductors do here. I didn’t mean to sound demanding earlier, just got a bit stuck and stressed. Thanks for the reminder, and I’ll be more mindful going forward 🙏
safe crystal
my message was in response to the gif as it can be seen as impatience

@obtuse fern is your vite building to the default dist folder?
obtuse fern

This is the caddyfile it uses by default btw:

You can overwrite it by creating your own Caddyfile at root
