## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Lightdash BI on Railway

Run Lightdash 1.107.0 with private PostgreSQL and Railway object storage.

## About Hosting Lightdash BI

Lightdash is an open-source business intelligence application built around dbt semantic models. This Railway template runs the application, its metadata database, and S3-compatible result storage as one private graph.

## Why Deploy Lightdash BI on Railway

Railway generates the secrets, connects services over private networking, persists metadata on a volume, and exposes only the Lightdash web application, so the first useful workspace is available without assembling the infrastructure manually.

## Common Use Cases

- Give analysts a browser-based interface over dbt models.
- Build governed charts and dashboards from an existing warehouse.
- Evaluate self-hosted Lightdash with persistent metadata and result storage.

## Dependencies for Lightdash BI Hosting

The deployment uses [Lightdash](https://www.lightdash.com), [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org), [pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector), and a Railway Bucket.

### Deployment Dependencies

- Lightdash 1.107.0 application image
- PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector and a persistent 5 GB volume
- Railway Bucket for cached query results and assets
