Deploy and Host Openfront Pharmacy with Railway

Openfront Pharmacy is a self-hostable pharmacy operations and customer-commerce application. It separates eligible public shopping from prescription intake, pharmacist review, and dispensing. Pharmacy teams manage patients, prescriptions, fills, inventory lots, recalls, cold-chain records, orders, payments, and fulfillment.

About Hosting Openfront Pharmacy

This template provisions the application from its GitHub repository, PostgreSQL, and a private native Railway Bucket named Storage. The database starts empty; no demo records or reusable credentials are included. Initialize the application using the repository's onboarding instructions after deployment.

DATABASE_URL references Postgres and the five S3_* variables reference the Storage bucket. Generated per deployment: SESSION_SECRET.

The app gets a Railway-generated public domain. No custom domains are included.

Admin Dashboard

Manage patients, recalls, store settings, integrations, pos, audit, inventory, orders, prescriptions, prescribers, credentials through dedicated dashboard workspaces and permission-controlled data screens.

Storefront

Public routes cover /products, /cart, /checkout, prescription intake, refills, transfers, pickup, delivery, and order status. Only products eligible for public carts belong in customer checkout; prescription work has its own review workflow.

Prescription Review & Dispensing

Record prescription intake, patient and prescriber information, clinical safety reviews, human approvals, fill reservations, dispensing labels, refill requests, and transfers.

Inventory Safety

Receive and adjust location lots, record movements and temperature excursions, quarantine recall-affected inventory, and record human disposition.

Orders & Fulfillment

Process eligible product orders and controlled fulfillment transitions. Payment sessions, Stripe integration, cash operations, refunds, and recovery records are distinct from pharmacist authorization.

Dependencies for Openfront Pharmacy Hosting

The app needs a PostgreSQL database and S3-compatible object storage. Both are provisioned by this template.

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

Next.js and Keystone 6 with a GraphQL API, Prisma, and PostgreSQL. Payments, email, and other external providers need their own operator configuration; this template does not activate them.
