About Hosting Sharkey
Sharkey is a feature-rich federated social platform in the Misskey family, with ActivityPub federation, reactions, custom emoji, rich notes, channels, and Mastodon-compatible APIs. This template deploys stable 2025.4.7 with a generated root account, private PostgreSQL, authenticated Redis, and durable media.

Dependencies for Sharkey Hosting
Deployment Dependencies
Sharkey, PostgreSQL, and Redis each use a daily-backed-up volume. Railway provides HTTPS. A stable public domain is required for federation and must not be changed after launch.
Implementation Details
The adapter runs upstream migrations, uses Sharkey's protected first-setup API to create the generated root account, persists local media, uses SQL full-text search without optional extensions, and authenticates Redis. Use one application replica.
Why Deploy Sharkey on Railway?
Railway provides generated credentials, private networking, HTTPS, persistent storage, backups, health checks, and Git-driven updates.
