Deploy and Host b1-template on Railway

B1.church is Church Management Software to manage church members, groups, attendance, donations, and more.

Hosting is provided for free at https://b1.church/ . This template is provided for churches who prefer to host their own copy of the apps and database instead.

About Hosting

Hosting b1-template means running your own full copy of the B1 platform, including the API, database, and web interface. You are responsible for deployment, updates, backups, and uptime. In return, you gain full control over your data, customization options, and independence from any hosted provider. The config is offered on Railway to simplify infrastructure, but some technical familiarity with environment variables, databases, and deployments is still required. This option is best suited for churches with a developer or IT volunteer who can manage occasional maintenance.

Common Use Cases

• Churches that want full ownership and control of their data and infrastructure
• Developers who want to customize or extend B1 beyond the hosted version
• Organizations running multiple campuses or custom integrations with other systems

Dependencies for b1-template Hosting

• SMTP server for user email verification

Deployment Dependencies

• None
