# Deploy and Host Baby Buddy on Railway

[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/button.svg)](https://railway.com/new/template/babybuddy?utm_medium=integration&utm_source=button&utm_campaign=babybuddy)

[Baby Buddy](https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy) is a self-hosted baby tracker — log feedings, diaper changes, sleep, tummy time, pumping, growth, and temperature, and see it all on a timeline with charts. Caregivers share one account-protected instance, so parents, grandparents, and sitters stay in sync without handing data to an app company.

## About Hosting Baby Buddy

This template runs the linuxserver.io Baby Buddy image as a single Railway service. The SQLite database and settings persist on a volume at `/config`. CSRF origins are pre-wired to your Railway domain, so forms work out of the box.

## Common Use Cases

- New-parent logbook: feedings, sleep, and diapers tracked from any phone browser, shared between caregivers
- Data for the pediatrician: growth charts, feeding totals, and sleep patterns as real numbers
- Home Assistant integration — Baby Buddy has a first-party HA integration for dashboards and sensors

## Dependencies for Baby Buddy Hosting

- None — single service with SQLite

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Baby Buddy documentation](https://docs.baby-buddy.net/)
- [Home Assistant integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/babybuddy/)
- [linuxserver.io image docs](https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-babybuddy/)

### Implementation Details

**First boot:** log in with username `admin` and password `admin` on your Railway domain — **change the password immediately** (top-right menu → Password).

Notes and limits:

- `PORT` and `CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS` are pre-wired for Railway — leave them unchanged.
- Set `TZ` to your time zone so timeline entries land on the right day.
- SQLite on the volume comfortably handles family-scale usage; the linuxserver image also supports external Postgres via env vars if you ever need it.
