Deploy and Host OpenObserve on Railway

OpenObserve is an observability platform for logs, metrics and traces with SQL search, dashboards and alerts, built to cut storage cost versus Elasticsearch.

About Hosting OpenObserve

This template runs the official public.ecr.aws/zinclabs/openobserve:latest image on port 5080 with a volume at /data for local storage. The root user is root@example.com; its password is the generated (24 characters) ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD variable (see the service Variables tab). Open the URL and sign in with those credentials, then change the account or add users in the UI. Send data to /api//... endpoints with basic auth using the same credentials.

Common Use Cases

Central log search for apps and servers
OpenTelemetry metrics and traces storage
Dashboards and alerts on log data

Dependencies for OpenObserve Hosting
