## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Libredesk - Complete Setup on Railway

Libredesk is a modern, open-source, self-hosted omnichannel customer support desk. It helps you manage customer conversations from live chat, email, and other support channels in one unified inbox, with support for automation, team workflows, webhooks, and API-based integrations.

## About Hosting Libredesk - Complete Setup

Hosting Libredesk on Railway gives you a ready-to-use self-hosted customer support desk without manually configuring servers, databases, Redis, networking, or deployment pipelines. This template includes the Libredesk application, PostgreSQL, and Redis, so the required backend services are already included for conversations, queues, notifications, webhooks, automation rules, and support desk data.

This is a complete setup template. After deployment succeeds, you only need to open the generated Railway URL and log in using the default system account.

## Login Setup

After the deployment is successful, open the Libredesk service variables in Railway and find the `PASSWORD` value.

Use this value as your login password.

Login credentials:

```txt
Email: System
Password: Use the PASSWORD value from the Libredesk service variables
````

Keep this password somewhere safe after deployment.

## Common Use Cases

* Run a self-hosted customer support desk for your product, SaaS, or internal team
* Manage live chat and email conversations from a single support inbox
* Create a private alternative to hosted support tools with full infrastructure control
* Use automation rules to route, assign, and manage customer conversations
* Connect support workflows with external systems using webhooks and APIs

## Dependencies for Libredesk - Complete Setup Hosting

* Libredesk application service
* PostgreSQL database
* Redis service
* Railway public networking
* Railway service variables for secure configuration

### Deployment Dependencies

* Libredesk Website: https://libredesk.io
* Libredesk GitHub Repository: https://github.com/abhinavxd/libredesk
* PostgreSQL: used for application data storage
* Redis: used for queues, background jobs, and real-time processing

### Implementation Details

This template deploys Libredesk with PostgreSQL and Redis on Railway.

The Libredesk web service listens on:

```txt
0.0.0.0:9000
```

The Railway public URL will be generated automatically after deployment.

After deployment:

1. Open the generated Railway domain
2. Go to the Libredesk service variables in Railway
3. Find the `PASSWORD` value
4. Log in using `System` as the email
5. Use the `PASSWORD` value as the password
6. Start configuring inboxes, support agents, live chat, email, automation rules, and webhooks

The system password is generated automatically during deployment and passed to Libredesk as the default system user password.

For production-style usage, keep the generated password secure and avoid sharing the system account credentials.
