It supports real-time collaborative editing, Markdown, and full-text search, with a clean interface for building and sharing team knowledge. ## About Hosting Outline Hosting Outline on Railway provisions all required infrastructure with minimal configuration. The template includes a dedicated PostgreSQL database for storing documents, collections, and user data, a Redis instance for caching and real-time collaboration, and a Railway Bucket for file storage. Outline runs as a single container exposing port 3000. Database migrations run automatically on startup, so you're ready to sign in immediately after deployment. PostgreSQL, Redis, and the storage bucket communicate with Outline over Railway's private network, keeping internal traffic off the public internet with zero egress fees. Outline itself is publicly accessible via your configured domain. ## Common Use Cases - **Team Knowledge Base**: Create a central home for internal documentation, onboarding guides, runbooks, and processes with real-time collaborative editing and full-text search across all content. - **Project Documentation**: Organize docs by collection and nest documents in a hierarchy, keeping project context, decisions, and references in one place alongside your team's workflow. - **Company Wiki**: Build a living wiki that stays up to date with inline comments, document subscriptions, and notifications when content is updated or you are mentioned. ## Dependencies for Outline Hosting - **PostgreSQL Database** — Included in this template, configured with private network connections - **Redis** — Included in this template, configured with private network connections - **S3-Compatible File Storage** — Included in this template using Railway Buckets. Can be swapped for any [compatible S3 service](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7#h-s3-compatible-services) by updating the relevant environment variables - **SMTP Server** — Required for outgoing transactional emails including invitations, document notifications, and magic link sign-in. Not included — bring your own (e.g. Resend, Mailgun, Postmark) - **Authentication Provider** — At least one is required. See the [authentication docs](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/authentication-7ViKRmRY5o) for the full list of supported providers and setup instructions ### Deployment Dependencies - [Outline Documentation](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting) - [Outline Docker Guide](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/docker-7pfeLP5a8t) - [Outline Environment Variable Reference](https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/main/.env.sample) - [Outline Authentication Docs](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/authentication-7ViKRmRY5o) - [Outline File Storage Docs](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7) - [Outline SMTP Docs](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/smtp-cqCJyZGMIB) ### Implementation Details **Private Network Communication:** All communication between Outline, PostgreSQL, and Redis occurs over Railway's private network. Neither the database nor Redis is accessible from outside the private network by default. **Secret Keys:** Two secret keys are required, `SECRET_KEY` and `UTILS_SECRET`, both automatically generated during deployment. They should be unique 32-byte hex-encoded values, equivalent to running `openssl rand -hex 32`. **Authentication Setup:** At least one authentication provider must be configured before Outline is usable. See the [authentication docs](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/authentication-7ViKRmRY5o) for the full list of supported providers and setup instructions. This template includes Google OAuth variables by default, along with optional variables for all other supported providers. **SMTP Setup:** SMTP is required for sending invitations and notifications. Configure either `SMTP_SERVICE` for a known mail provider, or set `SMTP_HOST`, `SMTP_PORT`, `SMTP_USERNAME`, `SMTP_PASSWORD`, and `SMTP_FROM_EMAIL` for a custom mail server. **File Storage:** This template is pre-configured to use Railway Buckets as an S3-compatible storage backend. Credentials are automatically injected by Railway. You can swap this for any other [compatible S3 service](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7#h-s3-compatible-services) by updating the relevant `AWS_*` environment variables. ## Why Deploy Outline on Railway?
