Railway

Introduction

Here’s how to easily deploy this app:

• Sign up at Railway.
• Click 'New Project' and select 'Node.js'.
• Create a Redis DB or other (Optional)
• Connect your GitHub repository
• Set your environment variables
• Add a volume to your container
• Deploy your application.
• Register an ENS domain and share your app!

Deployment

1. Sign Up and Setup: Create an account at Railway and start a new empty project.

2. Database (Optional): Optionally, right click to add a Redis database to your project.

• Get the redis connection string

Add the variable to the env editor in Railway.

KEY= # the private key of the agent wallet
REDIS_CONNECTION_STRING= # the connection string for the Redis database

3. Repository: Connect your GitHub repository where your app code resides and deploy the repo.

4. Environment Variables: Set up environment variables in Railway.

5. Cache:

• Preserves conversation history between deployments
• Prevents creation of new installations on each restart
• Ensures faster group additions by retaining past installations
• Avoids the 256-installation limit, preventing agent failure
• Reduces the risk of missing messages during redeployment

To implement:

• Use Railway's feature to attach a persistent volume to your container
• Set the database path to a location on this volume
• Ensure the .data folder is stored on the persistent volume

This approach creates a continuous installation, preventing message loss and maintaining agent functionality across redeployments.
