This template deploys Redis 7 on Railway using the official Docker image, with append-only persistence and password authentication enabled by default. [![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/button.svg)](https://railway.com/deploy/redis-vb?referralCode=2_sIT9&utm_medium=integration&utm_source=template&utm_campaign=generic) ## πŸ—οΈ Architecture ```mermaid flowchart LR Client(["πŸ“¦ App / Client"]) -->|"Redis Protocol"| Proxy["Railway TCP Proxy"] Proxy -->|"$PORT β†’ 6379"| App["Container\nredis:7-alpine\n(--appendonly yes)"] App --> Volume[("Volume\n/data")] ``` ## Environment variables ```bash REDIS_PASSWORD=replace-with-strong-password ``` `REDIS_PASSWORD` is required. The server is started with `--requirepass "$REDIS_PASSWORD"`, so Redis will not accept unauthenticated connections β€” set it as a generated secret in the Railway dashboard before deploying. Clients must authenticate with `AUTH ` (or `redis-cli -a `). ## Persistence `railway.toml` declares `requiredMountPath = "/data"` for AOF/RDB files (append-only is enabled). Attach a Railway volume to that path before production traffic β€” Railway will prompt for it based on this setting, but it is not created automatically. ## Health check The Dockerfile defines a `HEALTHCHECK` that runs `redis-cli -a "$REDIS_PASSWORD" ping` on an interval, since Redis has no HTTP endpoint to probe. ## Local ```bash docker build -t railwayapp-redis . docker run --rm -e REDIS_PASSWORD=dev-password -p 6379:6379 railwayapp-redis ``` --- [![Airbyte](https://img.shields.io/badge/Airbyte-615EFF?style=for-the-badge&logo=airbyte&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-airbyte) [![Apache Airflow](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apache%20Airflow-017CEE?style=for-the-badge&logo=apacheairflow&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-airflow) [![CloudBeaver](https://img.shields.io/badge/CloudBeaver-382923?style=for-the-badge&logo=dbeaver&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-cloudbeaver-ce) [![CodiMD](https://img.shields.io/badge/CodiMD-0F766E?style=for-the-badge&logo=markdown&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-codimd) [![Django](https://img.shields.io/badge/Django-092E20?style=for-the-badge&logo=django&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-django) [![Email Service](https://img.shields.io/badge/Email%20Service-2563EB?style=for-the-badge&logo=maildotru&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-email) [![FastAPI](https://img.shields.io/badge/FastAPI-009688?style=for-the-badge&logo=fastapi&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-fastapi) [![Flask](https://img.shields.io/badge/Flask-3fad48?style=for-the-badge&logo=flask&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-flask) [![Flowise](https://img.shields.io/badge/Flowise-4F46E5?style=for-the-badge&logo=nodedotjs&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-flowise) [![GitLab CE](https://img.shields.io/badge/GitLab%20CE-FC6D26?style=for-the-badge&logo=gitlab&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-gitlab) [![Grafana](https://img.shields.io/badge/Grafana-F46800?style=for-the-badge&logo=grafana&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-grafana) [![Home Assistant](https://img.shields.io/badge/Home%20Assistant-18BCF2?style=for-the-badge&logo=homeassistant&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-homeassistant) [![InfluxDB](https://img.shields.io/badge/InfluxDB-22ADF6?style=for-the-badge&logo=influxdb&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-influxdb) [![MJML](https://img.shields.io/badge/MJML-F45E43?style=for-the-badge&logo=mjml&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-mjml) [![MongoDB](https://img.shields.io/badge/MongoDB-47A248?style=for-the-badge&logo=mongodb&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-mongodb) [![Mosquitto MQTT](https://img.shields.io/badge/Mosquitto%20MQTT-3C5280?style=for-the-badge&logo=eclipsemosquitto&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-mqtt) [![MySQL](https://img.shields.io/badge/MySQL-4479A1?style=for-the-badge&logo=mysql&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-mysql) [![n8n](https://img.shields.io/badge/n8n-EA4B71?style=for-the-badge&logo=n8n&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-n8n) [![Node.js](https://img.shields.io/badge/Node.js-339933?style=for-the-badge&logo=nodedotjs&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-nodejs) [![Node-RED](https://img.shields.io/badge/Node-RED-8F0000?style=for-the-badge&logo=nodered&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-nodered) [![OpenSearch](https://img.shields.io/badge/OpenSearch-005EB8?style=for-the-badge&logo=opensearch&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-opensearch) [![Open WebUI](https://img.shields.io/badge/Open%20WebUI-D68E42?style=for-the-badge&logo=ollama&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-openwebui) [![Outerbase Studio](https://img.shields.io/badge/Outerbase%20Studio-000000?style=for-the-badge&logo=outerbase&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-outerbase-studio) [![PostgreSQL](https://img.shields.io/badge/PostgreSQL-4169E1?style=for-the-badge&logo=postgresql&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-postgresql) [![Redis](https://img.shields.io/badge/Redis-DC382D?style=for-the-badge&logo=redis&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-redis) [![TYPO3 CMS](https://img.shields.io/badge/TYPO3%20CMS-FF8700?style=for-the-badge&logo=typo3&logoColor=white)](https://github.com/vergissberlin/railwayapp-typo3) ## Similar templates -
