Deploy and Host ClickHouse on Railway

ClickHouse is a column-oriented SQL database built for real-time analytics over very large datasets.

About Hosting ClickHouse

This template runs the official clickhouse/clickhouse-server:latest image with a persistent volume at /var/lib/clickhouse. The default user is protected by a random CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD generated into the service variables: read it in the Variables tab. The public URL exposes the HTTP interface (port 8123): check /ping, and run queries with curl --user default: --data 'SELECT 1' https:///. The native TCP protocol is not exposed.

Common Use Cases

Product and event analytics over billions of rows
Log and metrics storage queried with SQL over HTTP
Backend for dashboards such as Grafana or Metabase

Dependencies for ClickHouse Hosting

One service with a volume; nothing else
