To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI Overview and Command Reference page.

❓ Why use Caddy when deploying to Railway?

Caddy is a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server, and therefore Caddy is far better suited to serve websites than ng serve is, using Caddy will result in much less memory and cpu usage compared to serving with ng serve (much lower running costs too)

To see how this is achieved with nixpacks, check out the fully documented nixpacks.toml file in this repository

The configuration for Caddy is called a Caddyfile, and you can edit that file to further suite your needs, by default it comes configured to serve a single page app for Angular, and to also gzip the responses

Relevant Caddy documentation:

• The Caddyfile
• Caddyfile Directives
• root
• encode
• file_server
• try_files
