Deploy and Host Squidex HeadlessCMS on Railway
What is Squidex HeadlessCMS?
Squidex is an open-source headless CMS built on ASP.NET Core and powered by MongoDB. It provides a flexible content management system with GraphQL and REST APIs, asset management, event sourcing, and a scalable architecture for modern applications. By separating the CMS from the frontend, it enables developers to build websites, apps, and digital products with complete freedom over the presentation layer.
About Hosting Squidex HeadlessCMS
Hosting Squidex HeadlessCMS on Railway is straightforward and efficient. The deployment includes Squidex itself, a MongoDB database to persist data, and the Squidex Resizer service to handle asset transformations (e.g., image resizing). Once deployed, you can manage content via the Squidex UI, serve APIs for your frontend applications, and scale horizontally as your application grows. Railway manages environment variables, networking, and scaling so you can focus on building your product rather than infrastructure.
Common Use Cases
- Powering content-driven web and mobile applications
- Managing structured content for e-commerce platforms
- Serving as a backend for multi-language and multi-platform projects
Dependencies for Squidex HeadlessCMS Hosting
- MongoDB: Required as the event store and data persistence layer for Squidex.
- Squidex Resizer: Handles on-the-fly image resizing and optimization for assets.
Deployment Dependencies
Implementation Details (Optional)
The template defines three key services:
- Squidex (core CMS application)
- MongoDB (data storage)
- Squidex Resizer (asset processing service)
The URLS__BASEURL
and ASSETS__RESIZERURL
environment variables ensure correct routing between services. MongoDB is automatically wired as the default store and event system.
