Dependencies for phpBB Hosting
Deployment Dependencies
phpBB and private MariaDB services each use a daily-backed-up volume. Railway provides HTTPS.
Implementation Details
The supported CLI installer creates the board and generated administrator, forces canonical HTTPS, and removes the web installer directory. Email remains disabled until SMTP is configured. Use one application replica.
