Deploy and Host AFFiNE Cloud on Railway

AFFiNE is an open-source, all-in-one workspace and an operating system for all the building blocks that assemble your knowledge base and much more -- wiki, knowledge management, presentation and digital assets. It's a better alternative to Notion and Miro.

About Hosting AFFiNE Cloud

This template offers a simple way to host AFFiNE Cloud on Railway with all the default settings. Tested for AFFiNE 0.25.7 on Jan 27, 2026 with the official recommended docker-compose setup mirrored as a Railway project. Auto update are disabled by default, but can be enabled by the user.

Common Use Cases

Knowledge management and wikis
Collaborative whiteboarding
Project planning with kanban boards
Team documentation
Personal note-taking with privacy

Check out https://affine.pro/ for more information. It's basically notion + miro + linear, but self-hosted and open source :)

Dependencies for AFFiNE-selfhost Hosting

No dependencies are required for this template! Though it is possible to use other storage services like R2 or S3 for blobs to go over Railway's limit (depending on which plan you are on), but that requires additional configuration.

Deployment Dependencies

Just an email account to set up the admin account, nothing else :)

Implementation Details

This template mirrors the official docker compose setup for AFFiNE 0.25.7 fetched on Jan 27, 2026. See https://github.com/toeverything/affine/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
