Deploy and Host Instatic with PostgreSQL on Railway

Instatic is a modern self-hosted visual CMS and website builder for creating, editing, and publishing static websites from a simple web interface. This template uses the corebunch/instatic:latest Docker image and includes PostgreSQL for persistent application data.

About Hosting Instatic with PostgreSQL

Hosting Instatic with PostgreSQL gives you a self-hosted website editing and publishing tool that runs as a containerized service with a dedicated database backend. It provides a visual workflow for managing pages, assets, and static site content without requiring a complex multi-service setup.

This template is suitable for users who want a simple visual CMS that can be launched quickly, managed independently, and used for personal sites, landing pages, documentation pages, small business websites, or internal content portals.

PostgreSQL is used to keep application data persistent and separate from the container runtime, making the setup more reliable for long-running deployments.

Common Use Cases

• Personal website or portfolio builder
• Landing page editor
• Static website publishing
• Internal documentation site
• Small business website management
• Lightweight self-hosted website editing workflow
• Visual CMS for simple content-driven websites

Dependencies for Instatic Hosting

• PostgreSQL database
• Persistent storage for uploaded media and application data
• Railway public domain for web access

Deployment Dependencies

This template runs using the official container image:

corebunch/instatic:latest

It also uses PostgreSQL as the database backend for persistent application data.

After deployment, open the generated Railway domain to access the Instatic application.
