Deploy and Host Typebot on Railway

Typebot is an open-source, self-hosted chatbot and conversational form builder. It features a visual drag-and-drop editor for building chat flows, native integrations, and a hosted results dashboard — a fully self-hosted Typeform or Landbot alternative with no per-response fees.

About Hosting Typebot

Hosting Typebot requires running its builder and viewer Node.js services alongside PostgreSQL, MinIO (S3-compatible object storage for file uploads), and Redis (session and queue management). Postgres stores flows, submissions, and workspace data. MinIO handles file and image uploads within chat flows. The app reads its database connection, storage credentials, and auth secrets from environment variables at startup. Railway provisions and networks all services automatically.

Common Use Cases

Building lead-generation chatbots and conversational forms without per-response SaaS pricing
Embedding an interactive chat flow on a website for customer support or onboarding
Self-hosting a Typeform alternative with full control over submission data

Dependencies for Typebot Hosting
