## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Flowise (w/ vector store) on Railway

Flowise is an open-source visual builder for AI agents, chatbots and RAG. This template runs the official release with your admin account created on deploy, and a private Postgres that keeps your work and doubles as Flowise's vector store.

![Flowise with a built-in vector store](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@ba04713942d7782e33bc06e4d76f9e782a9f7605/flowise/banner.png)

## About Hosting Flowise (w/ vector store)

Deploy with your email and a password: a Setup service creates your Flowise admin with them, so nobody else can claim the sign-up page. Flows, credentials and uploaded files survive redeploys. Sign in at your Flowise URL; the Postgres vector store works without a host or password to fill in.

## Common Use Cases

- Chatbots that answer from your documents
- AI agents calling tools and APIs
- Chat widget on your website

## Dependencies for Flowise (w/ vector store) Hosting

- PostgreSQL (pgvector)

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Flowise environment variables](https://docs.flowiseai.com/configuration/environment-variables)
- [Flowise Postgres vector store](https://docs.flowiseai.com/integrations/langchain/vector-stores/postgres)

### Implementation Details

![Architecture: you and your apps reach Flowise at its public URL; Postgres and Setup stay on the private network; uploads go to a volume](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@ba04713942d7782e33bc06e4d76f9e782a9f7605/flowise/architecture.png)

Flowise needs about 0.7 GB of memory, more than the Free plan allows. Keep a copy of `FLOWISE_SECRETKEY_OVERWRITE`: it encrypts your saved credentials.

## Why Deploy Flowise (w/ vector store) on Railway?


Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Flowise (w/ vector store) on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.


**Updated 2026-10-28:** first release, Flowise 3.1.4.
