About Hosting Listmonk

Hosting Listmonk on Railway is fast and hassle-free. You’ll deploy the Listmonk service alongside a PostgreSQL 17 database, with Railway handling builds, logs, secrets, and scaling. Configuration is fully environment-variable driven, eliminating manual config files. To make hosting production-ready, Railway volumes are used to persist user uploads (images, logos, attachments), ensuring files remain safe across redeployments. Railway’s one-click deployments, CI/CD integration, and monitoring features make it effortless to manage Listmonk as part of your stack while giving you the flexibility to scale as your subscriber base grows.
