Deploy and Host Skylark on Railway

Skylark is a live website for your Palworld dedicated server: who is online, where they are, what they caught and built, the Palpedia, breeding and the server's progression, read from the server's own interfaces and its world save. Players install nothing.

About Hosting Skylark

This template runs the site from its published image and a Postgres database, with a volume for the admin page's backups. After it deploys, open /admin on the site's domain and set the admin password, copy the collector secret from the admin Collector page, and run the collector beside your Palworld server (or beside the site for a rented server) with the site's URL and that secret, as the README describes. The collector reports the server to the site; the site itself never needs access to the game server.
