Deploy and Host Red Discord Bot on Railway

Red is a modular, self-hosted Discord bot. This independent community template pins Red-DiscordBot 3.5.24 and does not claim endorsement by Cog Creators or Discord.

About Hosting Red Discord Bot

The template performs non-interactive setup, supervises the bot process, exposes a readiness endpoint, and persists Red's JSON data at /data. A Discord bot token is intentionally requested from each deployer and is never stored in the source.

Common Use Cases

Moderation and community automation
Music and utility commands
Custom cog experimentation

Why Deploy Red Discord Bot on Railway?

Railway builds the pinned container, provisions persistent storage, exposes the readiness endpoint, and restarts the supervised process after failures. The healthcheck reflects the bot process rather than merely returning a static response.
