Deploy on Railway

In this guide we'll walk you through deploying an Interval app on Railway.

This guide assumes that you already have an app ready to deploy to Railway. If you don't already have an app, you can create one with create-interval-app, or click the button to create a new Node project on Railway:

Our Getting Started guide also features a more in-depth walkthrough of creating a Railway account and deploying a project.

Installation

1. Install the Railway CLI and log in to Railway.
2. In your terminal, navigate to your project's directory and run railway init to create a new project.
3. Choose Empty Project and enter any name you want for your app.
4. When Railway asks about importing environment variables, type N, since we'll get a special Live mode key in the next step.
5. Get your Live mode key from the Interval dashboard.
6. Back in your terminal, run railway variables set INTERVAL_KEY=<your live mode key>.
7. Finally, run railway up to push your app to Railway.

This command will take a minute or so to complete, but when it succeeds you'll see a message indicating that your deploy is live.

To verify that your project is successfully running, go to the Railway dashboard and click your project. Press View logs under the Deployments tab, where you should see a familiar message saying that Interval is connected.
