Dependencies for OpenSlides Hosting

Deployment Dependencies

The template contains the official proxy, client, three backend roles, autoupdate, search, projector, authentication, voting, media, ICC, PostgreSQL, and Redis services. PostgreSQL has a persistent volume with daily backups. Railway terminates HTTPS.

Implementation Details

All OpenSlides images are pinned to 4.3.1. Purpose-specific adapters materialize generated secrets as private files for services that require Docker-secret paths. Services communicate only over Railway private networking; the proxy is the sole public endpoint.

Why Deploy OpenSlides on Railway?

Railway provides generated credentials, private networking, HTTPS, restart policies, persistent PostgreSQL storage, daily backups, and Git-driven updates for the full service graph.
