Redeployment of minio service is failing. New minio service setup works (tested in staging project) | Railway | Page 1

cosmic mauve Jan 10, 2026, 12:26 PM

#

My current minio service volume usage is around 80%. Could that be a reason for the failing redeployments?

also came across the change in stance of open-source by minio. I don't think that should be an issue as I am able to setup a new minio service

Please provide a link to the deployment that is failing

Could you please share the full logs?

@desert pagoda @timid socket please help

timid socket Jan 10, 2026, 11:09 PM

#

This is your private deployment, I cant view it

cosmic mauve Jan 10, 2026, 11:10 PM

#

yes, what can I share?

#

#

#

@timid socket does these help?

#

@timid socket can you allocate more volume storage? I am approaching near to 250GB already on this minio service

#

Also the serivce restart command gives a success feedback, but not able to see the reset in memory/cpu usage like it used to until a couple of days back

#

could it be like the running service is not able to stop to yield to the new containers? 🤔

#

this is a production blocker - would appreciate your quick action!

#

I raised threads here

#

I usually do a hourly restart of the minio bucket service to bring down the memory usage and thus my cost. but due to this issue, I am not able to bring down my memory usage and it is resulting into huge cost for me!

#

@echo valley can you help here?

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 4:32 AM

#

@ashen elbow ?
Tagging online employees as this is resulting in unwanted cost for us!

ashen elbow Jan 11, 2026, 4:34 AM

#

You need the volume resized?

#

Above 250GB?

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 4:46 AM

#

Yes, there are two issues. Refer to the support threads shared above

#

My service is facing some issue - not able to restart or redeploy either

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 6:00 AM

#

@ashen elbow why are my two threads closed? I don't see the issues resolved right?

#

@desert pagoda ?

#

Is your MinIO bucket currently offline?

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 6:13 AM

#

No, it is running currently

#

From last 2 weeks

#

But using a lot of memory. I usually have a cron based restart every 1hr

#

Any update?

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 7:35 AM

#

Waiting on this!

Hey, I am not sure how to proceed here, even the threads are closed on the support platform

Hey @desert pagoda can you please suggest how to proceed here - you have closed both the threads and nobody is replying to this discord thread too! I am totally blocked - Monday would result in peak traffic in production!

Your MinIO is online from my understanding, so I don't believe the urgency is super high here.

cosmic mauve Jan 11, 2026, 6:20 PM

but the cost is up and atleast extend the volume limit above 250GB

can someone help extend the 250GB volume limit?

cosmic mauve Jan 12, 2026, 7:54 PM

#

@desert pagoda I tried two things

Tried to create a duplicate of the Bucket service with a new volume - it works
Tried to disconnect the existing Bucket service volume and attach it to the new Bucket Copy service - it gets stuck in the same deployment step Creating containers

#

does this mean there is some issue with the volume? Can you please extend the limit of my volume?

desert pagoda Jan 12, 2026, 7:55 PM

#

Please stop pinging team members. Your MinIO service is online, and this thread is within its SLA.

cosmic mauve Jan 12, 2026, 7:56 PM

How can I get my volume extended without your support?

desert pagoda Jan 12, 2026, 7:57 PM

#

We will extend the volume's space when we are able to come back to this thread.

cosmic mauve Jan 12, 2026, 7:58 PM

The volume has been resized to 500GB.

cosmic mauve Jan 13, 2026, 2:34 AM

#

Thanks. Would I now be able to initiate redeployment of the service successfully?

desert pagoda Jan 13, 2026, 2:53 AM

#

I would recommend doing restarts instead of redeploys, since a caveat with volumes is that no two deployments can be online at the same time, so you would experience more downtime with redeploys than you would with instant restarts.

lavish skyBOT Jan 13, 2026, 2:55 AM

New reply sent from Central Station thread:

I generally do restarts every 1 hour to keep the memory usage in check. But redeploy when required

desert pagoda Jan 13, 2026, 2:56 AM

When is a redeploy required? A restart would restart Minio and then free the memory it used.

Yes, for enterprise users, the response time is 1 hour.

#

We would love to give all users the same level of support, but unfortunately, that is not feasible given the volume we operate at.

New reply sent from Central Station thread:

Thanks for responding.
Would it be possible to share the issue in brief? I am not sure how the cost incurred is justified for me!
Also, I would like to use Railway Storage Buckets (as they are s3 api compatible), but looking forward for the object-versioning feature as Grist service depends on that feature!

New reply sent from Central Station thread:

Meanwhile while Storage Buckets lack the object-versioning feature, how much can you extend my existing volume to?

desert pagoda Jan 13, 2026, 6:01 PM

I had shared a brief on the issue above; that would be all I am able to say at this time.

At the current spend, 500GB is the ceiling of what we can offer.

lavish skyBOT Jan 13, 2026, 6:07 PM

New reply sent from Central Station thread:

Any idea by when can I expect the object-versioning feature in Storage Buckets?
What should be the spend if I want to extend beyond 500GB?

desert pagoda Jan 13, 2026, 6:24 PM

With only 3 upvotes on that feature request post, we unfortunately would not be able to prioritize it anytime soon.

The spend that would come along with 80% use of a 500GB would likely be sufficient.
