Thanks for another great submission @Aravindha1234u . Can you adjust two things in the template config/overview?

  1. your template name is Openblock, can you please update to Openblocks
  2. when deploying from the template, there seems to be an issue where the API and node services don't deploy automatically. We have a ticket logged internally to investigate this, but in the meantime, can you please add a section like "Known Issues" to the overview that acknowledges this and the solution is to pull down the repo, use the railway CLI to link to the project, and run railway up for both of the services that don't deploy? screenshot to help with clarity - image

Lastly, push your code to this repo and update the template config to point to it: https://github.com/railwayapp-templates/openblocks

I am tracking your submission payouts together, so I'll be adding this one to the list.

Hi @melissa-hale

  1. I have updated the name in the Railway template.
  2. I am not sure what you are mentioning service doesn't deploy automatically. I just tried deploying the template all 3 services and 2 databases deployed at the same time and I didn't have this issue. It may take some time to deploy and you may need to redeploy any one of the services. I guess that is either because it's a little bit huge or it could be railway traffic or serverside load. image image

But I have added the Known Issues in README.
