## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Wakapi on Railway

## About Hosting Wakapi

Wakapi is a self-hosted WakaTime-compatible backend for collecting coding activity. This template runs Wakapi 2.17.5 with durable PostgreSQL storage, automated schema migrations, a generated administrator, closed public registration, and dependency-aware health reporting.

## Why Deploy Wakapi on Railway

One click creates a private application and database behind one public gateway. Editors can send heartbeats through the familiar WakaTime protocol while teams retain their own coding-activity data.

## Common Use Cases

- Track editor activity without sending it to a hosted analytics provider.
- Compare time by project, language, editor, and operating system.
- Give a small team a shared, self-hosted coding dashboard.

## Dependencies for Wakapi Hosting

The deployment uses immutable upstream images and Railway private networking.

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Wakapi](https://wakapi.dev) receives heartbeats and renders coding statistics.
- [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) persists users, API keys, heartbeats, and summaries.
- [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com) creates the administrator and blocks public registration.
- [Railway](https://railway.com) provides generated secrets, private networking, HTTPS, health checks, and persistent storage.
