Deploy and Host Seerr on Railway

Seerr is a free and open source media request management application. It integrates with Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby media servers, along with Sonarr and Radarr for automated media management. Users can request movies and TV shows through an intuitive web interface.

About Hosting Seerr

Hosting Seerr on Railway gives you a fully managed media request platform with PostgreSQL persistence. Railway handles container orchestration, networking between Seerr and its database, automatic restarts, and public domain provisioning. The template uses the official seerr/seerr Docker image for reliable, up-to-date deployments. After deploying, complete the setup wizard at your Railway-assigned URL to connect your media server (Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby) and configure Sonarr/Radarr integrations.

Common Use Cases

Manage media requests for a shared Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby library
Allow family and friends to request movies and TV shows through a web UI
Automate media acquisition by integrating with Sonarr and Radarr
Track which media is already available across your libraries

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

This template deploys two services:

Seerr — The main web application using the official seerr/seerr Docker image, exposed on port 5055 with a healthcheck at /api/v1/status.
PostgreSQL — A Railway-managed PostgreSQL database for persistent storage of users, requests, and configuration.

Seerr connects to PostgreSQL via Railway's internal networking using environment variables automatically referenced from the Postgres service. No external database configuration is needed.

After deployment, visit your Seerr URL to run the setup wizard and connect your media server.
