## Documentation

# Deploy and Host [Workbench](https://getworkbench.dev), a BullMQ Dashboard, on Railway

 [Workbench](https://getworkbench.dev) is a BullMQ dashboard for monitoring and managing queues. This Railway template deploys Workbench, connects to your existing Redis instance with `REDIS_URL`, and monitors the queues configured through `QUEUE_NAMES`.

## About Hosting Workbench - BullMQ Dashboard

Hosting this standalone Workbench service on Railway involves deploying the Docker image, connecting it to Redis, and configuring the queues it should monitor. The two core variables are `REDIS_URL`, which points Workbench at the Redis instance used by BullMQ, and `QUEUE_NAMES`, which defines the comma-separated queue names to show in the dashboard.

## Authentication: Protecting your production environment

Workbench exposes queue data and queue actions, so authentication is highly recommended in production. Set these variables to enable basic authentication:

* `AUTH_USERNAME`
* `AUTH_PASSWORD`

## Common Use Cases

* Monitor specific BullMQ queues from a standalone dashboard
* Inspect job failures, retries, and queue health
* Provide protected production visibility into Redis-backed workers

## Dependencies for Workbench - BullMQ Dashboard Hosting

* Redis instance used by your BullMQ queues
* Docker image `thomasamol/getworkbench-bun-serve`
