Deploy and Host Kener on Railway

Kener (rajnandan1/kener) is an open-source status page. This template uses the official rajnandan1/kener:4.1.7 image and v4's required Redis, instead of the existing community-fork template.

About Hosting Kener

Hosting Kener on Railway means running two services: the kener service (built from the kener folder, based on rajnandan1/kener:4.1.7) on port 3000 with a volume mounted at /app/database and the /healthcheck health check, and a Railway Redis service that Kener v4 requires. The template generates KENER_SECRET_KEY, sets ORIGIN from your public Railway domain, points REDIS_URL at the Redis service and stores data in SQLite at sqlite://./database/kener.sqlite.db by default. You can optionally use a Postgres service instead of SQLite by setting DATABASE_URL to the Postgres DATABASE_URL reference.

Common Use Cases

Publish a public status page for your services and APIs
Show uptime history and incidents to your users
Run a self-hosted alternative to hosted status page products

Dependencies for Kener Hosting
