Deploy and Host InvenTree on Railway

InvenTree is an open-source inventory management system for tracking parts, stock, suppliers, purchase orders, sales orders, and manufacturing workflows. It helps teams manage physical inventory and production data from a centralized web interface, with background workers handling asynchronous jobs and scheduled tasks.

About Hosting InvenTree

Hosting InvenTree involves running the main web application together with the services it needs for database storage, caching, background jobs, and persistent file uploads. This Railway template includes Postgres for application data, Redis for cache and queue coordination, an InvenTree worker service for background processing, and Railway Bucket for storing uploaded files and media. Splitting the worker from the main app makes the deployment better suited for production-style inventory workflows, where long-running or asynchronous tasks should not block the web service. Railway connects these services in one deployable stack so you can launch InvenTree without manually managing infrastructure.

Common Use Cases

• Inventory and stock management for engineering, hardware, or manufacturing teams
