## Documentation

# Deploy and Host VictoriaLogs on Railway

## About Hosting VictoriaLogs

VictoriaLogs ingests and queries structured logs through Elasticsearch, Loki, OpenTelemetry, and native HTTP APIs. This template runs the official 1.52.0 single-node release with a protected UI and 14-day durable retention.

## Why Deploy VictoriaLogs on Railway

Railway provisions private database networking, a generated Basic Auth gateway, dependency-aware health checks, and a 5 GB persistent volume. Applications send logs to one HTTPS endpoint while storage remains private.

## Common Use Cases

- Centralize application and infrastructure logs.
- Query structured events with LogsQL.
- Receive Loki, Elasticsearch, or OpenTelemetry HTTP traffic.

## Dependencies for VictoriaLogs Hosting

The template uses VictoriaLogs, Caddy, and one Railway volume.

### Deployment Dependencies

- [VictoriaLogs](https://victoriametrics.com/products/victorialogs/) provides ingestion, storage, querying, and the web UI.
- [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) protects the public endpoint.
- [Railway](https://railway.com) provides private networking, generated credentials, and persistent storage.
