Deploy and Host Grafana on Railway

Grafana is an open-source analytics and observability dashboard for visualizing metrics, logs, traces, and operational data. This template deploys Grafana with persistent storage, generated admin credentials, and a clean Railway healthcheck.

About Hosting Grafana

This template runs the official Grafana Docker image behind a Railway public domain. A persistent volume is mounted at /var/lib/grafana so dashboards, SQLite metadata, plugins, and runtime state survive restarts and redeploys.

Common Use Cases

• Infrastructure and application monitoring dashboards
• Business or product metrics dashboards
• Self-hosted visualization for Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Postgres, and other data sources

Dependencies for Grafana Hosting

• Grafana Open Source official Docker image
• Railway persistent volume mounted at /var/lib/grafana
• Generated admin password and Grafana secret key

Deployment Dependencies

No external service is required for first launch. Add your own data sources after deploy from the Grafana UI.
