Deploy and Host Grafana on Railway

Grafana is an open-source platform for dashboards, alerting and exploring metrics, logs and traces from sources such as Prometheus, Loki, PostgreSQL and many more.

About Hosting Grafana

This template runs the official grafana/grafana:latest image with a persistent volume at /var/lib/grafana, so dashboards, users and data sources survive redeploys. The admin user is admin, and its password is generated into the GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD variable of the service; read it in the Variables tab in Railway and sign in at the public URL.

Common Use Cases

Dashboards for Prometheus, Loki, Postgres and cloud metrics
Alerting on metrics and logs
A shared monitoring screen for a team

Dependencies for Grafana Hosting

Why Deploy Grafana on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. Sign in as admin with the generated password and add your first data source.
