Deploy and Host LibreDB Studio with PostgreSQL on Railway

LibreDB Studio Demo Gif

LibreDB Studio is an open-source database IDE that lets you manage and query PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite, and other databases from your browser. This Railway template pairs LibreDB Studio with PostgreSQL for persistent storage of saved connections and settings, with web access through a Railway-generated domain.

About Hosting LibreDB Studio with PostgreSQL

Deploy LibreDB Studio on Railway to manage your databases through a browser-based interface without installing a desktop client. The included PostgreSQL service stores LibreDB Studio's saved connections and settings, keeping them available across application redeployments. After deployment, open the auto-generated Railway domain and sign in with the credentials provided in the service's Variables tab. The administrator account provides full access, while the standard account is intended for query-only access. The application uses HTTP Proxy port 3000. PostgreSQL runs as a separate service within the Railway project, with its connection configured automatically.

Common Use Cases

Database administration: Browse schemas, inspect tables, run queries, and manage supported database connections from a browser.
Application development: Work with development and staging databases without installing a separate database IDE.
Database troubleshooting: Inspect data and investigate database issues through a single web interface.
