Deploy and Host Gotify on Railway

Gotify is a simple self-hosted server for sending and receiving push messages. You send a message with a plain HTTP request, and it shows up in the web UI and in the Gotify Android app in real time.

About Hosting Gotify

This template runs the official gotify/server image with a persistent volume at /app/data, so users, applications, messages and the SQLite database survive redeploys. No separate database service is needed.

The admin user is admin. Its password is generated for you at deploy time: open the service's Variables tab in Railway and copy GOTIFY_DEFAULTUSER_PASS. Sign in with it on first visit, then change it under Account in the web UI.

Common Use Cases

Get notified from scripts, cron jobs and CI pipelines with a single curl call
Receive alerts from monitoring tools that can post to a webhook
Replace third-party push services with a server you control

Dependencies for Gotify Hosting

One service with a volume; nothing else

Why Deploy Gotify on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL that your phone and scripts can reach, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain.
