🚂 Create Railway Service - Simple Steps

The Issue

Railway CLI needs interactive terminal, so let's use the dashboard instead.

In Your Railway Dashboard (2 clicks)

You're looking at the "Docs Api" project with "Apply 3 changes" button showing.

Step 1: Create Empty Service

1. Look for the "+ New" button (top right area)
2. Click it
3. Select "Empty Service" (not GitHub)

Step 2: Name the Service

1. It will create an empty service
2. Click on the service name
3. Rename it to: "backend-docs-api"

Step 3: Deploy Our Code

Now go back to terminal and run:

cd /Users/fguijarro/developer/repos/editor

# Load environment
source .env.local

# Set Railway token
export RAILWAY_TOKEN="$RAILWAY_DOCS_TOKEN"

# Deploy to the service we just created
/Users/fguijarro/.nvm/versions/node/v22.15.0/lib/node_modules/@railway/cli/bin/railway up --service backend-docs-api --detach

Alternative: Build Locally and Use Railway CLI

Or we can just build locally first:

# Build the app
nx build backend-docs-api --configuration=production

# The output is in: dist/apis/backend-docs-api/

Then in Railway dashboard:

1. Upload the dist folder
2. Set start command: node main.js

Simplest Option: Let Me Know

Would you like me to:

A) Guide you through creating the empty service in Railway (then we deploy via CLI)

B) Create a different deployment approach (maybe via GitHub Actions)

C) Just build locally first so you can verify everything works

Let me know and I'll help! The code is 100% ready - we just need to get it uploaded to Railway. 🚀
