Deploy and Host green-dark on Railway

Deploy and Host Boardpost

Boardpost is a self-hosted kanban board you deploy in one click. Organise work across four columns (Backlog → To do → In progress → Done), add and edit cards, and move them as work progresses — all behind a single password, on infrastructure you own, with no monthly SaaS fee.

About Hosting Boardpost

Boardpost runs as a single Node.js service backed by a Postgres database, both included in this template. On deploy, the app creates its database table automatically and serves a password-protected board. Set ADMIN_PASSWORD to secure the board and PROJECT_NAME to title it; the database connection is wired automatically. There is no public page — the whole board sits behind your password, so it's ready to use the moment it deploys.

Common Use Cases

• A private kanban board for a solo founder or small team
• Tracking tasks for a single project without a heavy PM tool
• A self-hosted, own-your-data alternative to hosted board apps

Dependencies for Boardpost Hosting

• A Postgres database (included and auto-connected in this template)
• Node.js 18+ runtime (handled automatically by Railway)

Deployment Dependencies

• Source repository: https://github.com/Hygrivakondury/boardpost

Implementation Details

Set ADMIN_PASSWORD to secure your board, and PROJECT_NAME to title it. The DATABASE_URL is connected automatically via Railway's ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}} reference. The entire board lives at the root URL behind your password.
