Deploy and Host Docmost Team Wiki with PostgreSQL & Redis on Railway

Collaborative team wiki with Postgres, Redis and persistent uploads.

About Hosting Docmost Team Wiki with PostgreSQL & Redis

Deploying this template creates Postgres, Redis, Docmost in your Railway project. The application receives an HTTPS domain automatically. Database and Redis services, when included, use private networking and generated credentials. Persistent data is stored on the included volumes or object storage, so application redeploys do not discard it.

Operations

Keep APP_SECRET stable, and back up PostgreSQL and the application upload volume together. The Redis service supports background work and should stay private. Railway supports the WebSocket connections used by the collaborative editor. Update APP_URL when you add a custom domain. Enterprise license features are not bundled.

Images are pinned to verified upstream image digests captured on 2026-10-17. Review upstream release notes, back up persistent data and update the image deliberately when upgrading. Railway charges the deployer for running services, storage and network usage.
