# Infrastructure
The site on Railway: one project, `bible`, with a `production` and a `dev`
environment, and one service, `site`, that runs the repo's `Dockerfile` in
Virginia (`us-east4-eqdc4a`). Railway holds the certificates; `server.py` does
the routing there as it does locally. DNS stays on Cloudflare.
| env | Railway environment | URL |
|------|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| prod | `production` | https://bible-2.aerlinn.net |
| dev | `dev` | https://bible-dev.aerlinn.net |
```
railway/ project, environments, service, custom domains, and their
CNAME + TXT records on Cloudflare
railway-cli/ Railway's CLI as a pinned image (theirs is x86-only)
```
## Tools
Nothing to install but Docker. Terraform and Railway's CLI are services in
`compose.yaml` (profile `tools`), reading tokens from `.env`. From the repo
root:
```
docker compose run --rm terraform -chdir=infra/railway plan
docker compose run --rm railway status
```
Commit `.terraform.lock.hcl`; it pins the provider builds.
## First-time setup
1. **Tokens.** A Railway workspace token (account settings -> Tokens, with the
workspace selected; a project token cannot make projects) and the
Cloudflare token. `cp .env.example .env` and fill both in.
2. **Project and domains.**
```
docker compose run --rm terraform -chdir=infra/railway init
docker compose run --rm terraform -chdir=infra/railway apply
```
3. **Deploy**, below. Railway issues each certificate once it sees the CNAME;
the first HTTPS requests can fail for a minute or two until then.
## Deploying
```
python3 utils/compile_bible.py # only when source/ changes
./deploy.sh dev
./deploy.sh prod
```
`deploy.sh` copies what the Dockerfile needs into `.build/` and uploads that
with `railway up`; Railway builds it and switches over when the new container
is running. Not the repo itself: the CLI skips gitignored paths, which
includes `bible/`, and telling it not to would send `.env` and `source/` too.
The build logs stream to the terminal, and the dashboard has them as well.
Terraform never deploys, and the provider cannot set anything Railway calls
config-as-code (healthchecks, start commands); Railway's defaults do.
## State
Local: `infra/railway/terraform.tfstate`, gitignored. Back it up. If it is
lost, nothing on Railway goes away; `terraform import` each resource back
(IDs from the dashboard URLs; the Cloudflare records as `<zone_id>/<id>`).
## Cost
Hobby plan: $5 a month, which includes $5 of usage. The service idles at a
few tens of MB and next to no CPU in each environment ($10 per GB-month of
memory, $20 per vCPU-month), so both fit in the included usage. Egress is
$0.05/GB, about $0.0001 per new reader (the whole library, ~2.2 MB).
