Better mention of build logs [request]
Right now, the docs don't have great exposure to build logs and how to read / debug them.
All the docs for logs, point to deployment logs. The most typical thing you want to check. But I think there should be more on build logs. The only mention I could find, was https://docs.railway.app/guides/logs#builddeploy-panel.
Somewhere in the https://docs.railway.app/guides/build-configuration (or even a new tab for build logs inside https://docs.railway.app/guides/builds) should have details about where to find the logs and common errors / gotchas.
Please add onto this issue if you can think of any other topics that should be mentioned for this doc additions. But the common issues I see / want talked about:
- breakdown each section of the log (region vs nixpacks steps vs pushing vs etc)
- Common issues with long pushes (reasons / how to create smaller build files; like using docker to have staged building)
I am sure there are more important topics in this regard. But these are the main things I can think about / want to see.
Why make this change? For one, it will help when trying to help someone. Frequently, we ask for logs, and they are very confused or don't send the correct portion of log. Having a page / section to point to, when asking for logs, might help clear things up.
