Gateway not ready error

[unborn terrace]

Gm guys!

I’m running my open claw on railway with a template it was all running smoothly till my agent himself pushed an update to his config file to allow him to respond messages in server and asked me to restart, i restarted the project, now my agent is down and the openclaw dashboard link is loading to an error gateway not ready.

Tho im getting config file error in logs any idea how can i access my config file in railway now and fix my config file and get it back up?

Below I’m attaching screenshot of error and logs

Is this about a specific service? Linking one helps us understand your setup.

You can deploy a Filebrowser instance either through their Docker image (docs: https://filebrowser.org/installation.html) or through the template (https://railway.com/deploy/Nan7Bs).

Shut down your Openclaw deployments, and unmount the volume (right the volume).
Then, mount the volume to the Filebrowser instance.

You can then access the Filebrowser to download/upload and fix the Openclaw config files.

Alternatively, (I'm not too sure if this will work), you can set a custom start command in your Openclaw service settings to be sleep infinity, then SSH into the container, and nano the config file to fix the error.

However, this will only work if nano exists in the container image.

I managed to get the link working by deleting the “unrecognised key” through the Railway CLI. But my agent still wouldn’t come back online — it kept throwing API errors. Turns out the API key isn’t in the config file when you deploy from the template. I’m guessing it’s stored somewhere in the volume. Manually adding the API key to the config didn’t work either — I tried several different ways but no luck.

In the end, I had to delete the volume and redeploy with a new one.

I did back up my agent using railway app link/setup/export, so now I’ll give it this file and hopefully it restores all the memory.

Railway really needs to drop an official template for Open Claw.

Sharing this in case it helps anyone else ✌️

Hey @wintry bluff

This didn’t worked

Connected the volume still nothing

I want to update the /data/.openclaw/.env file with the valid Api Key now

To be fair, this doesn’t seem like a Railway issue - sounds like a configuration issue with your app.

Try mounting the volume to /srv.

So when i mount volume with filebrowser instead of /data i do /srv ?

[wintry bluff]

Yes, try that.
