Deploy and Host Weblate on Railway

Weblate is a free, open source web-based localisation platform with tight version control integration. It lets your community translate your project directly in the browser, with changes committed back to your repository automatically.

About Hosting Weblate

Hosting Weblate requires three services running together: the Weblate application itself, a PostgreSQL database, and a Redis instance for caching and background task queuing. The application is distributed as a Docker image and is configured entirely through environment variables. A persistent volume is needed to store repository data and uploaded files across deployments. This template provisions all three services and wires them together, so you can get a production-ready localisation platform running in minutes.

Common Use Cases

• Crowdsourcing translations for open source projects from a global community of contributors
• Managing localisation workflows for SaaS products across multiple languages
• Running a self-hosted alternative to Crowdin or Transifex with full control over your data
