Deploy and Host n8n with PostgreSQL & Persistent Storage on Railway

A production-ready template to deploy and self-host n8n workflow automation paired with a dedicated PostgreSQL database and persistent volume storage. Easily automate tasks, connect webhooks, and integrate AI workflows without data loss.

About Hosting n8n with PostgreSQL & Persistent Storage

This template provides a robust, self-hosted n8n environment on Railway. Unlike default SQLite setups, this deployment links directly to a managed PostgreSQL database, offering high performance and scalability for complex workflows. It includes pre-configured persistent volumes for both n8n data and PostgreSQL storage, ensuring your credentials, custom modules, and workflow history remain safe across restarts and deployments.

Common Use Cases

AI & Automation: Build AI-driven receipt, invoice, or slip processing pipelines connected to Google Sheets or CRMs.
Webhook Processing: Receive and route real-time webhooks from LINE OA, Telegram bots, Stripe, and Shopify.
Data Sync & ETL: Automatically extract, transform, and load data between internal databases, APIs, and cloud services.

Why Deploy

Deploying n8n with this template eliminates tedious manual configuration. It automatically provisions and links a production-grade PostgreSQL database, mounts persistent storage volumes, and configures internal networking out of the box, saving you hours of setup time and ensuring high reliability for mission-critical automations.

Dependencies for

PostgreSQL Database: Handled and provisioned automatically within this template for internal workflow data.
Persistent Volumes: Automatically attached to secure n8n user files and database storage.
