Deploy and Host Yamtrack on Railway

Yamtrack is an open-source, self-hosted media tracker for movies, television, anime, manga, video games, books, comics, and board games. It supports multiple users, progress and rating history, custom lists, release calendars, notifications, imports, exports, and optional integrations with media servers and identity providers.

About Hosting Yamtrack

This Railway template deploys Yamtrack v0.25.3 with a private Redis service. Yamtrack uses its upstream SQLite deployment mode and stores its database on a persistent volume at /yamtrack/db; Redis stores cache and task state on a separate persistent volume at /data. Only Yamtrack receives a public HTTP domain. Railway references connect the services over private networking, the signing secret is generated at deployment time, and /health/ verifies SQLite, Redis, cache, and Celery readiness.

Common Use Cases

Track media progress, ratings, dates, notes, and repeat watches or reads
Share one private, multi-user media library with a household or small group
Import existing history and integrate optional media servers or identity providers

Dependencies for Yamtrack Hosting

Yamtrack v0.25.3
Redis 8.0.2

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

The app image runs database migrations before starting Nginx, Gunicorn, Celery, and Celery Beat. Yamtrack and Redis each receive one Railway volume because Railway attaches a volume to a single service. The Redis image keeps privileges on Railway so it can write around the volume's lost+found directory; Redis remains private and has no public domain.
