## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Kener on Railway

Kener is an open-source, modern status page application built with SvelteKit and Node.js. It provides real-time monitoring, uptime tracking, incident management, and beautiful customizable dashboards — perfect for teams needing reliable service status communication with minimal setup.

## About Hosting Kener

Kener runs as a single Node.js process in production that bundles a SvelteKit frontend, an Express API server, and a background cron scheduler for monitor checks. It requires a Redis instance for job queues (BullMQ) and supports SQLite (default), PostgreSQL, or MySQL as the database backend. Deploying Kener involves setting a few environment variables — a secret key, the public origin URL, and a Redis connection string — then starting the Docker container. Migrations and seeds run automatically on startup, so there is no manual database setup required.

## Common Use Cases

- Host a public-facing status page for your SaaS product or API to communicate uptime and incidents to customers
- Monitor the health of internal services, APIs, databases, and DNS records with automated checks (HTTP, TCP, Ping, DNS, SSL, SQL)
- Manage and communicate incidents, scheduled maintenance windows, and degraded service states with your team and users

## Dependencies for Kener Hosting

- **Redis** — Required for BullMQ job queues, caching, and the scheduler
- **Database** — SQLite (default, no extra service needed), PostgreSQL, or MySQL

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Kener Documentation](https://kener.ing/docs/v4/getting-started/introduction)
- [Kener GitHub Repository](https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener)
- [Kener Docker Hub Image](https://hub.docker.com/r/rajnandan1/kener)

### Implementation Details

Kener publishes official Docker images to Docker Hub (`rajnandan1/kener:latest` for Debian, `rajnandan1/kener:alpine` for Alpine). The container exposes port 3000 by default and expects the following environment variables:

| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `KENER_SECRET_KEY` | Yes | Random secret used for signing sessions and tokens |
| `ORIGIN` | Yes | Public URL of your Kener instance (e.g. `https://status.example.com`) |
| `REDIS_URL` | Yes | Redis connection string (e.g. `redis://redis:6379`) |
| `DATABASE_URL` | No | Database connection string. Defaults to SQLite. Supports `postgresql://` and `mysql://` |
| `PORT` | No | Defaults to `3000` |
| `KENER_BASE_PATH` | No | Set if hosting under a subpath |

A `/healthcheck` endpoint is available for Railway's health checks.
