Deploy and Host kodus-selfhosted on Railway

kodus-selfhosted is the self-hosted version of Kodus AI, an automated code review platform for engineering teams. It ships as a multi-service stack with Web, API, Worker, and Webhook services, backed by PostgreSQL (pgvector), MongoDB, and RabbitMQ. Teams can run Kodus in private infrastructure with their own keys and integrations.

About Hosting kodus-selfhosted

Hosting kodus-selfhosted involves deploying application services and data services that communicate over private networking. The Web service provides the UI, the API handles business logic, Webhooks ingest SCM events, and the Worker processes asynchronous jobs through RabbitMQ. PostgreSQL stores transactional and vector-backed data, while MongoDB supports document workloads. In Railway, you expose only the services that need public access (typically Web, API, and Webhooks), then wire internal URLs via service references. You configure required secrets, auth/session settings, and optional provider credentials (LLM keys, GitHub App, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Forgejo). Docs and Discord links are included for onboarding and troubleshooting.

Common Use Cases

• Run AI code reviews in private or regulated environments.
• Bring your own LLM/API keys and control provider routing/cost.
• Connect multiple SCM providers with a single review workflow.

Dependencies for kodus-selfhosted Hosting

• PostgreSQL (pgvector), MongoDB, and RabbitMQ.
