Dependencies for OJS Hosting
Deployment Dependencies
OJS and private MariaDB services each use a daily-backed-up volume. Railway provides HTTPS.
Implementation Details
The adapter uses OJS's CLI installer with a generated administrator, forces canonical HTTPS, runs scheduled tasks hourly, and stores both public and private journal files on one application volume. Use one application replica.
Why Deploy OJS on Railway?
Railway provides generated credentials, private networking, HTTPS, persistent storage, backups, health checks, and Git-driven updates.
