## Documentation

# Deploy and Host n8n PostgreSQL Webhook Starter on Railway

n8n with private Postgres, generated encryption and automatic webhook URLs.

## About Hosting n8n PostgreSQL Webhook Starter

This deployment fork provisions Postgres, n8n. Application domains and any authored TCP endpoints are generated for each new deployment. Database and queue services are private by default.

## Why Deploy n8n PostgreSQL Webhook Starter on Railway

- New setup and maintenance documentation with attribution to the original template.
- Public container sources are locked by image digest and public Git repositories by commit SHA.
- Database and queue services use private networking; external database access is an explicit deployer choice.
- Explicit persistent encryption key, current webhook/proxy settings and bounded execution retention.

## Common Use Cases

- Automate recurring API tasks.
- Build webhook-driven integrations.
- Persist execution history and workflow credentials.

## Dependencies for n8n PostgreSQL Webhook Starter

- A Railway account with capacity for 2 service definitions and the authored storage.
- Your own external accounts and credentials when an integration or model provider is needed. No paid provider subscription is included.
- Local passwords and service secrets are generated or referenced at deployment; external integrations are configured by the deployer.

## First Launch

Wait for both services, open the n8n domain and create the owner account immediately. Connect integrations and enable a workflow. The webhook URL follows the generated HTTPS domain.

## Included Services and Storage

| Service | Persistent paths |
| --- | --- |
| Postgres | `/var/lib/postgresql/data` |
| n8n | No attached volume |

## Operations

Back up PostgreSQL and retain N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY. This is a single-process application with Postgres; it does not include a queue worker. Review data retention and timezone for your own workloads.

Railway bills the deployer for actual services, storage and network use. Back up persistent data before source/version changes. This publication was checked against Railway's configuration schema and upstream source/registry availability; a full runtime deployment test has not been performed.

## Attribution and Source

Based on [n8n](https://railway.com/template/MRazvG) by Thalles Passos's Projects. It appeared at position 12 in Railway's backend Popular/browse results captured on 2026-10-18, with 4,234 deployments reported for the original. That count belongs to the original, not this new fork.

The original software and repositories remain owned by their upstream authors and retain their licenses. This is a deployment configuration fork with new documentation, not a claim of software authorship or official vendor affiliation.
