Deploy and Host Statusnook on Railway

Statusnook is a self-hosted status page and monitoring application for sharing service health information with users. It provides service health summaries, incident and maintenance timelines, and opt-in notifications through email and Slack. It is designed to make monitoring and communicating service availability straightforward.

About Hosting Statusnook

Hosting Statusnook on Railway involves deploying the official goksan/statusnook:latest Docker image as a Railway service. The application listens on HTTP port 8000, which should be exposed through Railway's public networking so visitors can access the status page. Statusnook stores application data in /app/statusnook-data, so a persistent Railway Volume should be mounted at this path to preserve data across deployments and restarts. Railway provides the container infrastructure, persistent storage, public HTTPS access, and domain management needed to run the status page without maintaining a separate server.

Common Use Cases

Publishing a public status page for service health and availability
Communicating incidents and scheduled maintenance to users
Monitoring endpoints and providing service updates through email and Slack

Dependencies for Statusnook Hosting

goksan/statusnook:latest Docker image
Persistent Railway Volume mounted at /app/statusnook-data

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

Docker

Deploy the following Docker image:

goksan/statusnook:latest

Railway can deploy the prebuilt Docker image directly, so no custom Dockerfile, build command, or start command is documented.

Public Networking

Statusnook exposes its web interface on port 8000:

Protocol	Proxy Type	Target Port	Purpose
HTTP	HTTP Proxy	8000	Statusnook web interface

After deployment, go to Settings → Networking and generate a Railway domain for port 8000. Railway provides HTTPS access through the generated domain.

Environment Variables

The supplied template does not define any runtime environment variables.

Variable	Required	Description
None documented	—	No runtime environment variables are defined in the supplied template.

Raw Editor:

# No environment variables are documented.

Persistent Storage

Persistent storage is required for Statusnook.

To add the volume:

Open the Statusnook service in Railway.
Go to Settings.
Open Volumes.
Add a volume.
Set the mount path to:

/app/statusnook-data

The volume preserves Statusnook application data across service restarts and redeployments.

Database

No separate database service is documented in the supplied template.

Build & Start

No custom build or start commands are required.

Railway deploys the prebuilt image:

goksan/statusnook:latest

Accessing the Application

Create a new Railway project.
Add a service using the goksan/statusnook:latest Docker image.
Configure port 8000 as an HTTP port.
Add a Railway Volume mounted at /app/statusnook-data.
Open Settings → Networking.
Generate a Railway domain.
Open the generated HTTPS URL to access the Statusnook status page.

The supplied template does not document default credentials or an administrative login.
