Self Hosted Posting shows post was successful or failed without a browser refresh

[smamis3891]

I started using self hosted, and noticed that submitting a post live leaves the posting window showing a status of Publishing and never updates even though the post did post live. It looks like this would need a setting change on the Railway template. Live status updates never arrive because the realtime connection points to localhost:8080.

Let me know if you want an image example or more details on this request/issue.

Thanks for the detailed report, @smamis3891, you nailed it. The Docker image we publish bakes the realtime (Reverb) connection into the frontend at build time with localhost:8080, so on Railway the browser tries to connect to your own machine instead of the server. Your posts publish fine; only the live status update never arrives.

Changing env vars on Railway won't fix it, since the value is compiled into the JS. We're going to fix it on our side in the next few days by making the frontend use the app's own domain at runtime, and then we'll publish a new image and update the Railway template defaults. We'll post here when it's out. Until then, a page refresh shows the real status.
