# Deploy and Host pgMaps on Railway

Open-source tool for managing maps and geospatial data in PostGIS-enabled PostgreSQL databases

## About Hosting pgMaps

It is required that your set three environment variables:
POSTGRES_URL:	Your PostgreSQL connection string. By default, the app will create up to four tables in the public schema (_pgmaps_basemaps, _pgmaps_connections, _pgmaps_folders, _pgmaps_maps) to store its own data.

APP_PASSWORD:	Password protecting the app. Without it, anyone with the URL could obtain read/write access to your PostgreSQL database.

DSN_ENCRYPTION_KEY:	32-byte hex key used to encrypt saved connection strings at rest. Generate with openssl rand -hex 32.

## Common Use Cases

- Easily load spatial files into your PostgreSQL database
- Visualize and edit geospatial data at scale
- Create, manage, and share live maps

## Dependencies for pgMaps Hosting

- PostgreSQL connection string
- Docker

### Deployment Dependencies

None
