Deploy and Host QuestDB on Railway

QuestDB is an open-source time-series database with fast ingestion, SQL queries and a built-in web console.

About Hosting QuestDB

This template runs the official questdb/questdb:10.1.0 image with a persistent volume at /var/lib/questdb. The web console and REST API are served on port 9000 and are protected by HTTP Basic authentication: the username and password are generated at deploy time and stored in the service variables QDB_HTTP_USER and QDB_HTTP_PASSWORD. Open the Variables tab to read them, then sign in at the public URL.

Common Use Cases

Store and query metrics, sensor and market data with SQL
Explore tables in the web console and import CSV files
Query over the REST API (/exec) with the same credentials

Dependencies for QuestDB Hosting

One service with a volume; nothing else

Deployment Dependencies

Why Deploy QuestDB on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. Access is behind a generated password, so the console is not open to strangers.
