About Hosting Uptime Kuma (w/ MariaDB)

This template deploys two services: Uptime Kuma and a MariaDB 11.8 LTS database. All database connection variables are pre-configured using Railway reference variables, so no manual setup is required. Uptime Kuma v2 introduced MariaDB as an alternative to SQLite, offering improved performance for concurrent reads/writes and better suitability for production workloads. Once deployed, you simply visit the generated URL to complete the initial account setup through the Uptime Kuma wizard. The MariaDB instance runs on Railway's private network for secure, low-latency communication.
