Deploy and Host Peekaping on Railway

Peekaping is a modern, self-hosted uptime monitoring and status page tool built with Go and React. It tracks websites, APIs, services, databases, and more, with real-time dashboards and multi-channel alerts. It’s MIT-licensed, API-first, and supports Postgres, MongoDB, or SQLite storage. A clean Uptime Kuma alternative focused on performance and extensibility. Sources: peekaping.com, docs.

About Hosting Peekaping

On Railway, you deploy Peekaping as a containerized service and attach a database (PostgreSQL is a great fit). Peekaping’s new architecture can run as a single bundled image (simplest) or as microservices (API, worker, producer, ingester) for scale. You’ll configure env vars (DB connection, base URL, SMTP or chat-webhooks), expose the web UI, and optionally add Redis if you go microservices. Railway handles HTTPS, scaling, and restarts. After deploy, create monitors (HTTP, TCP, Ping, DNS, gRPC, Docker, Postgres, Redis, etc.), set alert channels (Email, Slack, Telegram, PagerDuty, Ntfy, Gotify, etc.), and publish a public status page.

Common Use Cases

• Replace Uptime Kuma with a typed, API-first monitor and status pages
• Monitor apps, infra, and databases with real-time alerts to Slack/PD
• Host a branded public status page for your product or internal teams
