About Hosting Miniflux with PostgreSQL

This template provisions both Miniflux and PostgreSQL as connected Railway services. PostgreSQL stores feeds, subscriptions, users, and application data, while Miniflux provides the web interface and RSS processing.

Railway handles service networking and infrastructure configuration. Required environment variables connect Miniflux to PostgreSQL automatically.

After deployment, open the generated Miniflux domain and sign in using the administrator credentials configured during setup.
