Deploy and Host StatView on Railway

StatView is a simple application for displaying graphs based on the metrics stored in your Prometheus server. Great for browsing and comparing without the complexity of Grafana.

About Hosting StatView

This is a single container with a volume that stores the sqlite database of your saved views and dashboards. I recommend you do backups of the volume if you don't want to lose your setup.

It only reads from a single Prometheus endpoint URL, nothing fancy. If you want more than fancy, use Grafana.

StatView Authentication

The default state is that this has no authentication enabled.

You can enable GitHub auth via OAuth, if you create a custom app in your GitHub account. More information in the README https://github.com/richard5mith/statview.

Common Use Cases

• You have some basic metrics you need to view
• You don't want the complexity of Grafana
• You don't know what metrics you'll want in advance, so creating dashboards isn't useful

Dependencies for StatView Hosting

• An existing Prometheus setup, which may be protected with HTTP Basic Auth

Deployment Dependencies
