Deploy and Host Dashfy with Railway

Dashfy is an open-source framework for building dashboards using declarative configuration. This template deploys the official demo: a Vite + React UI and a Node.js server with Socket.IO on a single port.

About Hosting Dashfy

The demo runs as one Railway service. The build step compiles the client into build/; the server serves that UI and handles WebSocket connections. No database or extra services are required for the minimal demo.

Common Use Cases

Try Dashfy before integrating it into your stack
Host a public demo dashboard
Fork and customize dashfy.config.yml and extensions

Dependencies for Dashfy Hosting

Node.js 20+
pnpm (via packageManager in package.json)
@getdashfy/server and @getdashfy/ui, and @getdashfy/ext-* from npm

Deployment Dependencies

Use the template and deploy!

Click Deploy to create your own instance. Railway will assign a *.up.railway.app domain. To use a custom domain, add it under Networking in your project and configure DNS in your provider.

To customize, eject the repo from the template (Settings → Source → Eject) and edit dashfy.config.yml, dashfy.server.ts, and src/App.tsx.

Why Deploy Dashfy on Railway?

Railway runs the long-lived Node process Dashfy needs for WebSocket streaming, with simple deploys from GitHub and automatic HTTPS on Railway domains.
