Title: PGlite Database — Volume Backup Consistency and Isolated Restore Hello Railway Community, I'm evaluating Railway Pro for volume backups. My application runs Node.js with an embedded PGlite database stored on a persistent Railway volume. Before upgrading, I'd appreciate clarification on three questions: 1. Can Railway create a consistent volume backup while PGlite is running and actively writing? 2. Can a backup be restored into a separate test volume or service without modifying the original? 3. Has anyone successfully tested this backup-and-restore workflow with PGlite? I'm particularly interested in database consistency and safe recovery testing. Thanks!

Hi Railway Support Team, I’m frequently experiencing very slow response times when accessing the Railway platform and my application from Bangalore, India. My application and database are hosted in the Singapore region. Everything was working fine earlier, but recently I’ve started experiencing significant slowness, and sometimes API requests are taking too long or timing out. Could you please investigate this issue and fix the underlying connectivity/performance problem? It seems to be an issue that has started recently, as it was working normally before. Thank you.

I'm trying to add the custom domain aspectsofcare.co.uk to my API service. The DNS setup is almost complete: CNAME record: verified ✓ TXT record: NOT verified ✗ The DNS provider has confirmed the TXT record is live and correct on their side. The record value matches exactly what Railway is showing. However, Railway's dashboard still shows the TXT record as unverified. The TXT record has been in place for over 24 hours, so DNS propagation should not be the issue. Can you investigate why Railway's verification check is not detecting the TXT record despite it being live and correct at the DNS provider

Hello, I need to create a safe SQLite online backup from a running Railway service with a persistent Volume. Setup: - Node.js service - Persistent Volume mounted at /data - Live SQLite database: /data/travelcalc.db - SQLite WAL mode is active - travelcalc.db-wal and travelcalc.db-shm currently exist I need to create a transactionally consistent backup of this live SQLite database without restarting, redeploying, detaching, or modifying the Volume. The Railway CLI SSH connection asks me to trust the host key for ssh.railway.com, but I cannot find an official Railway-published host-key fingerprint that I can independently verify. For security reasons, I do not want to bypass SSH host verification or use StrictHostKeyChecking=no. I can already access the Volume using: railway volume files list / and I confirmed that travelcalc.db, travelcalc.db-wal, and travelcalc.db-shm exist. However, I do not want to download those files separately because I cannot confirm that Railway guarantees a consistent point-in-time snapshot across those files while SQLite is actively running. Could Railway please clarify: 1. Is there an official/verifiable method to verify the SSH host key for ssh.railway.com? 2. Is there an officially supported way to execute a one-time command inside the currently running deployment without SSH? 3. What is Railway's recommended method for creating and downloading a transactionally consistent backup of a live SQLite database running in WAL mode on a Railway Volume? 4. Do Railway Volume Backups guarantee a SQLite/WAL-consistent point-in-time snapshot while the database is actively being written to? My goal is simply to create a safe off-platform backup without changing the production database. Thank you.

Hello Railway team, My production service in the sfo region is experiencing outbound TCP connection timeouts to two endpoints of an external provider. Diagnostic findings: - Both endpoints time out on TCP port 443 from the Railway container. - The same endpoints resolve to the same IP addresses and connect successfully from my local computer. - A control connection to example.com:443 succeeds from the container in approximately 0.02 seconds. - The failure reproduces with Python's standard socket library, before TLS or authentication. - No proxy environment variables were found. - Restarting the existing deployment did not resolve the issue. - The web application remains online and responds with HTTP 200. - The application worked two days ago, with no recent code changes or new deployments. We have not established whether the cause is destination-side filtering, routing, or another network issue. For confidentiality, I am omitting the provider's identity, destination domains/IPs, and project identifiers from this message. Could a Railway team member provide a private channel where I can share those details and request a targeted connectivity investigation? Please confirm how to provide them without making them visible to the community. Thank you.

I removed Public Access and the DATABASEPUBLICURL variable from a Postgres service (production environment). Settings > Networking now shows public access as off, and the Railway agent staged and applied a removal of the TCP proxy for application port 5432. However, the proxy endpoint that was assigned before still accepts connections: a test with a deliberately wrong password returns "password authentication failed", so it is still reaching the database. Could a Railway team member remove the leftover TCP proxy for this service? I can share the project and service IDs privately if needed. The app connects over postgres.railway.internal, so removing the proxy should not affect it.

How can I configure my Railway account for maximum security? I couldn’t find a dedicated security settings tab. As far as I can tell, the only security option available is email-based 2FA/OTP, with no additional options. Is there anything else I can enable to further secure my account?
