Deploy and Host Koillection collection manager on Railway

Koillection is a flexible self-hosted collection manager for books, games, media, stamps, equipment, and other physical or digital collections with custom metadata and uploads.

About Hosting Koillection collection manager

The template runs immutable Koillection 1.8.3, private PostgreSQL 16, durable database and upload volumes, and a public gateway. Generated gateway credentials protect first-owner setup and all later registration while normal application login and bearer APIs remain available.

Why Deploy Koillection collection manager on Railway

Railway creates HTTPS, private database networking, generated secrets, health-gated startup, and two persistent volumes. The application waits for PostgreSQL before applying its 120-migration chain, avoiding first-boot ordering failures.
