Deploy and Host SysReptor on Railway

SysReptor is a fully customizable, open-source reporting tool designed specifically for penetration testers and security auditors. It streamlines the documentation process, allowing teams to collaborate on findings, manage vulnerability libraries, and generate professional, design-ready PDF and HTML reports using simple Markdown syntax.

About Hosting SysReptor

Hosting SysReptor involves orchestrating a standard Python/Django application stack. The core application runs as a Docker container that interfaces with a PostgreSQL database for persistent storage of your reports, designs, and user data. Additionally, SysReptor requires Redis to handle asynchronous task queuing (such as rendering heavy PDF reports) and caching.

This Railway template automatically provisions the application container alongside the necessary PostgreSQL and Redis services. It connects them via private networking variables, ensuring your data remains secure while eliminating manual network configuration.

Common Use Cases

Collaborative Reporting: Allow multiple pentesters to work on the same report simultaneously without version control conflicts.
Finding Management: Create a centralized, reusable database of common vulnerability findings to speed up report writing.
Automated Deliverables: Generate high-quality, branded PDF and HTML reports instantly from Markdown inputs.

Dependencies for SysReptor Hosting

PostgreSQL: Used as the primary database for storing user data, findings, and report contents.
Redis: Used as a message broker for the Celery task queue and for application caching.

Implementation Details

First Time Setup (Important)

Since this is a secure reporting tool, the default admin user is not created automatically. Once your deployment is successful (green checkmark), you must create your initial login manually using the Railway CLI.

Prerequisite: Ensure you have the Railway CLI installed and linked to your project.

Open your local terminal.
Run the following command to SSH into the running application container:
```
railway ssh
```

(Note: If prompted to select a service, choose sysreptor)

Once inside the remote shell, run this one-liner to create your admin account:
```
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
```
Follow the prompts to set your username, email, and password. You can then log in immediately at your public URL.
