@gerwitz according to their FAQ, Railway does not "encourage" ssh'ing in and getting a shell, and you're going to need shell access on the actual server at some point or another I think (if you are the technical admin). At that point I would recommend getting a managed host like SpaceBear or Fedi Monster

@darius ah, thanks. I guess I ought to run a test install locally just to learn things like “this isn’t just a Rails app” 😆

@gerwitz It's a rails app with a react frontend and a bunch of services that aren't just the rails DB, like a sidekiq redis queue, etc. It might work in Railway! I just can't imagine doing this without at least occasional shell access

@darius since I have your attention… how do you differentiate Hometown vs. glitch-soc? My own needs seem well addressed by both (better embedded-media handling, local posts)

@gerwitz hometown has fewer features than glitch and is less experimental overall
