Deploy and Host CloudBeaver on Railway

CloudBeaver is the web edition of DBeaver, the popular database tool. It lets you browse schemas, edit rows, run SQL with autocomplete and export results from a browser. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, ClickHouse and many other databases through JDBC drivers that ship with it.

About Hosting CloudBeaver

This template runs the official dbeaver/cloudbeaver:26.2.1 image as one service. The setup wizard is skipped: an administrator named cbadmin is created on first boot with a generated password, and anonymous access is switched off, so the public URL shows a login page. The workspace, including saved connections and settings, lives on a Railway volume and survives redeploys. Databases in the same Railway project are reachable by their private hostnames, for example postgres.railway.internal. The Java server needs roughly 700 MB of memory. The admin password in the variables only applies on the first boot; change it later in the admin panel.

Common Use Cases

A browser SQL client for the databases in your Railway project
Giving teammates controlled, read-only access to a database
Quick data fixes and CSV exports without installing desktop tools

Implementation Details

Service	Source	Networking	Storage
cloudbeaver	`dbeaver/cloudbeaver:26.2.1`	public domain on 8978	volume at `/opt/cloudbeaver/workspace`

Variable	Default	Purpose
`CB_ADMIN_NAME`	`cbadmin`	Administrator created on first boot
`CB_ADMIN_PASSWORD`	generated	Administrator password (first boot only)
`CB_SERVER_URL`	`https://${{RAILWAY_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}}`	Public URL, skips the setup wizard
`CLOUDBEAVER_APP_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED`	`false`	Requires a login for everything

Notes:

The admin name must not be admin, because CloudBeaver already has a team with that name.
Add connections under Connections > New; use private hostnames such as postgres.railway.internal.
