Deploy Codra

Deploy and Host Codra on Railway

Codra is an open-source, queue-backed AI code review engine for GitHub pull requests. This template deploys automated PR review workers, a built-in React dashboard, PostgreSQL storage, and Redis (BullMQ) queues.

About Hosting Codra

The template provisions three services: Postgres (review history, repo config overrides, encrypted LLM credentials), Redis (BullMQ review queues and dashboard session cache), and Codra itself (API, dashboard, and review workers in one container). Database migrations run automatically as a pre-deploy command before traffic is routed.

Common Use Cases

• Automated AI review of every GitHub pull request
• Self-hosted code review with your own LLM provider keys
• Team dashboard for review history and per-repository configuration

Dependencies for Codra Hosting

• A GitHub App (private key, App ID, webhook secret)
• A GitHub OAuth App (client ID and secret) for dashboard login
• An LLM provider key (configured in the dashboard after deploy)

Deployment Dependencies

• Codra on GitHub
• Creating a GitHub App

Post-Deployment Steps

1. Copy the generated Railway domain from the Codra service (https://.up.railway.app).
2. In your GitHub App settings, set:
   • Homepage URL: https://
   • Webhook URL: https:///webhook
   • Callback URL: https:///auth/github/callback
3. Log in to the Codra dashboard via GitHub OAuth.
