Deploy and Host Mautic + MySQL + Worker/Cron on Railway

Deploy Mautic on Railway with a private MySQL database, a public web service, and dedicated cron/worker services.

About Hosting Mautic + MySQL + Worker/Cron

Mautic is an open-source marketing automation platform. This template uses the official Mautic Docker image roles: one web service for the UI, one cron service for scheduled jobs, and one worker service for queued background work.

Why Deploy Mautic + MySQL + Worker/Cron on Railway

Railway provides private networking, persistent MySQL storage, generated credentials, and a public Mautic URL without forcing the deployer to hand-wire the multi-service Docker Compose setup. Cron and worker roles are included so campaigns, segments, and queued jobs are not left as manual follow-up work.

Common Use Cases

• Self-hosted marketing automation
• Contact and segment management
• Campaign and landing-page experiments
• Internal newsletter workflows
• Evaluation environments for Mautic
