Deploy and Host CheckCle on Railway

About Hosting CheckCle

CheckCle is an open-source uptime, SSL, status-page, and server-monitoring platform. This template deploys stable release v1.6.0 as one public Railway service with durable PocketBase storage and generated administrator credentials.

Common Use Cases

Monitor public HTTP and HTTPS endpoints
Check TCP ports, DNS records, and TLS certificates
Publish status pages and incidents
Collect server metrics through separately deployed CheckCle agents

Dependencies for CheckCle Hosting

Deployment Dependencies

The template creates one checkcle service and one persistent volume mounted at /mnt/pb_data, with a backup schedule. No external database is required.

Implementation Details

The CheckCle service owns the public HTTPS domain on Railway’s injected PORT (port 8080 in the serialized template). The container runs PocketBase and CheckCle's operation service together, matching the upstream release topology. A narrow adapter rotates the upstream seeded administrator before serving traffic and encrypts PocketBase settings with a generated key.

Read CHECKCLE_ADMIN_EMAIL and the generated CHECKCLE_ADMIN_PASSWORD from the service variables, then sign in and rotate the password. Do not change the encryption key after data has been written.

Railway monitors internet-reachable targets from its own network location. LAN targets require a regional agent in that LAN. ICMP is available only when the Railway runtime grants raw-socket capability; HTTP(S), TCP, DNS, and SSL monitoring do not depend on it.

Why Deploy CheckCle on Railway?

Railway provides HTTPS, persistent storage, scheduled backups, generated secrets, and a stable public location for continuous monitoring without exposing the upstream default credentials.
