Deploy and Host Workbench - BullMQ Dashboard on Railway

Workbench is a BullMQ dashboard for monitoring and managing queues. This standalone Bun version packages the Workbench UI as a Docker-ready service, connects to Redis through REDIS_URL, and lets you configure queue names, auth, branding, readonly mode, base path, and tags through environment variables.

About Hosting Workbench - BullMQ Dashboard

Hosting this standalone Workbench service on Railway involves deploying the Docker image or source repo, attaching a Redis instance, and setting the required environment variables. The service runs with Bun, serves the Workbench UI on PORT, connects to BullMQ queues using REDIS_URL, and monitors queues listed in QUEUE_NAMES. Optional settings let you protect the dashboard with basic auth, change the UI title or logo, serve it under a custom BASE_PATH, disable queue actions with READONLY, and expose /healthcheck for Railway health checks.

Common Use Cases

• Monitor BullMQ queues from a standalone dashboard service
• Inspect queue jobs, failures, retries, and scheduler activity
• Provide a readonly operations view for production queue health
