good night friends, do any of you know how to seed in railway?

#

What a night my friend ?
I have some questions also, do you use a template, can you share it, what about the Docker file that causes a fail ?
I ask this because there is no official doc about Railway deployment atm

Have you tried using railway run or railway shell . https://docs.railway.app/develop/cli#local-development
Maybe:

railway run medusa user -e "<EMAIL>" -p "<PASSWORD>"

Hi @subtle terrace have you been able to fix the seeding problem ?

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:20 PM

#

Yes, I did, but not in the best way.

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:21 PM

#

Can you explain how you solved it please ?

#

in short words in case someone asks the same question

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:21 PM

#

Wait a moment please

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:23 PM

#

Thank you

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:26 PM

#

here change the command to

medusa migrations run && npm run seed && medusa develop

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:26 PM

#

Thank a lot my friend, I'll cite your solution

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

#

after the redeploy is done you delete the seed command

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:28 PM

#

Nice this is very important for the others

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

it is easier if you connect remotely with the terminal

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

You mean with the Railway command line

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

Yes

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

Okey

subtle terrace Nov 19, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Ok

zealous plank Nov 19, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

How do I create admin ? User , I linked to the backend using the railway CLI

#

npx medusa user --email admin@medusa-test.com --password supersecret

#

And this command does not work

versed wharf Sep 13, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

What error do you get?
Try npx @medusajs/medusa user -e admin@medusa-test.com -p supersecret
Make sure you are in the root of your medusa backend folder

hearty pelican Sep 13, 2023, 4:31 PM

#

the backend on railway stopped working, i deleted the project on railway three times, hit the deploy link, changed the env variables to lowercase. health check not working. so the adding user can't even test again, the redis is not connecting

hearty pelican Sep 13, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

i am back attemting to add the admin user, i have the backend working

#

railway run npx medusa user --email can@trbzink.com --password supersecret

#

could not determine executable to run is the error message

#

@versed wharf I installed medusa CLI, to railway. getting the following errors

Again, make sure you are in the root of your medusa backend folder

hearty pelican Sep 13, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

in railway server? figuring out how to get there

versed wharf Sep 13, 2023, 5:39 PM

#

You should be able to use the cd command. Not sure where exactly you need to cd to. Maybe from the default working directory it is just the name of your repo. Just a guess. From default, try using ls to see options.

#

Also try pwd to see the full working directory path

hearty pelican Sep 14, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

I created a railway shell, but PWD does work even when, i added a command medusa seed and it creates a user, i still cant log in, with the user from the Admin deployed on Vercel...

versed wharf Sep 14, 2023, 3:28 PM

#

You used lowercase or uppercase? It has to be lowercase

versed wharf Sep 14, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

Another way to accomplish this would be to run the command from your local dev environment with it connected to whatever db is connected to the Railway instance.

hearty pelican Sep 14, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

i did that, thx @versed wharf

#

i am getting https://trbz-backroom-medusa-git-master-stunjiturner.vercel.app/backend-production-2423.up.railway.app/admin/auth a 405 erroswhen trying log in from the vercel deployment, login works find locally, using the same hosted DB for both

versed wharf Sep 14, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

Have you deployed your admin separately from your backend? I think you've confused your admin and backend urls. The link you posted, /admin/auth, should be your backend based on the path, but it takes me to your admin.

hearty pelican Sep 14, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

I have deployed them separately

Backend - Railway
Admin - Vercel

#

On the Vercel , Open the Environment Variables collapsible, and add an environment variable with the name MEDUSA_ADMIN_BACKEND_URL with the value being the URL to your deployed Medusa backend. this should be the value in from railway correct?

versed wharf Sep 14, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

Yes, but your admin app is trying to access the backend at your vercel url

hearty pelican Sep 14, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

So the admin should be running on railway as well
