What’s good, what’s good, what’s good, the people? 

This week is HUGE, we have A LOT to share, maybe even a WHALE-SIZED amount to share … shall we get into it? 

Deploy Docker Images to Priority Boarding

 users can now deploy an image directly from 

CMD + K in the Railway Canvas to create a new service from a Docker image

That’s right, we’re talking ANY Docker image, running on Railway, right now (as long as you’re in Priority Boarding). 

To get started, try creating a new service from a Docker image by opening the the command palette (CMD + K) and selecting 

You can also connect to a Docker Hub image via the service settings.

Or connect to DockerHub via the service settings menu

 images from DockerHub and GHCR are supported at this time

You can only connect to the service with the public url over HTTP. This will limit the ability to deploy images like Postgres and connect to them externally. However, you 

 connect with any protocol via private networking

You will not be able to listen for changes to the image

We are hoping that this opens up a whole new world of use cases on Railway and we can’t wait to see what you do with it.

 were able to shave off some SERIOUS time from a whole bunch of db queries. We’re talking things that 

What this means for you is that you should now see a whole bunch of speed improvements in the Dashboard on a whole range of queries, like listing deployments, opening projects … pretty much everything that queries the database. 

If you think we should write a blogpost about this … well, you’re right! We should. We’ll do that. Thank you. 

Meanwhile please enjoy the turbocharged Dashboard. 🏄
