Deploy and Host Fusio – API Management Platform on Railway

Fusio is an open-source API management platform for building, securing, and operating REST APIs. It provides an admin UI to design endpoints, apply OAuth2 authentication, manage consumers/apps, and automatically generate an OpenAPI specification. Fusio is ideal for self-hosted API gateways, developer portals, and scalable backend integrations.

About Hosting Fusio – API Management Platform

This Railway template deploys Fusio with a MySQL database in a production-ready setup. Railway manages the infrastructure and networking, while Fusio runs as a containerized service connected to MySQL using internal service variables. The template initializes an admin account from environment variables, sets a secure project key, and configures the public base URLs used by OAuth2, redirects, and web apps. After deployment, you can access the Fusio backend UI, create Operations (routes), attach Actions (logic), secure endpoints with scopes, and export your API definition via OpenAPI.

Common Use Cases

API gateway in front of microservices (routing, auth, transformation)
OAuth2 / access-control backend for SPAs, mobile apps, or internal tooling
Developer portal + API catalog with OpenAPI export and client onboarding

Dependencies for Fusio – API Management Platform Hosting

Implementation Details

This template includes small runtime adjustments to make Fusio work reliably on Railway:

Ensures Apache runs with a compatible MPM module and binds to the Railway-provided $PORT.
Forces the correct Apache DocumentRoot to /var/www/html/fusio/public so the web UI and API routes are served properly.

After deployment:

Backend (admin UI): https:///apps/fusio/
Health endpoint: https:///system/health
OpenAPI spec: https:///system/generator/spec-openapi
