Deploy EdgeDB with separate PostgreSQL

EdgeDB template to connect to a managed Railway PostgreSQL instance

Just deployed

Refer to the Official EdgeDB Docker Deployment Guide. This template follows that guide as closely as possible.

This template expects there to already be a running PostgreSQL instance in the project. Retrieve its connection url in URI format, and paste that as the environment variable for EDGEDB_SERVER_BACKEND_DSN.

This template also expects a password to be set in the field EDGEDB_SERVER_PASSWORD. For this value, set the password to be exactly the same as the PostgreSQL instance.

There are a few additional environment variables that you can configure:
