Deploy and Host Keila on Railway

Keila is an open source newsletter tool and alternative to Mailchimp or Sendinblue. It lets you send newsletter campaigns, create sign-up forms, and manage contacts. Keila supports SMTP, AWS SES, Sendgrid, Mailgun, and Postmark for email delivery.

About Hosting Keila

Keila is an Elixir/Phoenix application that requires a PostgreSQL database for storing contacts, campaigns, and configuration. Deployment involves setting up the database connection, configuring a secret key for session encryption, and providing SMTP or transactional email service credentials for sending campaigns. The application runs as a Docker container and needs persistent storage for the database. You'll also need to configure the base URL for your deployment so that sign-up forms and unsubscribe links work correctly.

Common Use Cases

Managing multiple newsletter projects with isolated contact lists and campaigns
Creating embeddable sign-up forms and double opt-in workflows for GDPR compliance
