About Hosting Tracearr

This Railway template deploys Tracearr as a turnkey, one-click setup — no manual configuration required. Everything is pre-wired and ready to go. Once deployed, open the web UI, connect your Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby servers, and you'll immediately start seeing real-time session data, stream locations on the world map, and activity analytics. Set up detection rules to automatically flag suspicious behavior like impossible travel or simultaneous streaming from different cities, and get notified instantly via webhooks. The template handles all infrastructure so you can focus on managing your media servers.
