About Hosting Client Delivery Kanban with Planka

Small agencies tracking deliverables and handover checklists.

Set DEFAULT_ADMIN_EMAIL to your own address before deploying. Sign in with DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD from Railway variables. Create one project per client, add a delivery board, and invite users with the appropriate project access.

Included services and storage

Service	Persistent storage	Public access
App	/app/data	HTTPS domain
Postgres	/var/lib/postgresql/data	Private network only

First deployment

Review required inputs in the deploy form and supply your own administrator email where requested.
Deploy the services and wait for the application and any database migrations to finish.
Open the generated HTTPS domain and follow the workflow above.

Why Deploy Client Delivery Kanban with Planka on Railway

The definition supplies an HTTPS endpoint, generated credentials where supported and explicit storage paths. PostgreSQL, when present, stays private. Public upstream image manifests are locked to immutable digests so an upstream tag change does not silently replace a running version.

Common Use Cases

Track client delivery milestones.
Manage revision requests.
Keep a handover checklist with attachments.

Dependencies for Client Delivery Kanban with Planka

Upstream application and its documentation. The upstream authors own the application and its license. This recipe does not claim application authorship or official endorsement.
Private PostgreSQL 17 database and its persistent volume.
A Railway plan with resources sufficient for these services. Hosting, storage and outbound traffic are billed by Railway; no software subscription, bank connection, SMTP account or provider credit is included.

Operational limits and backups

Database records and /app/data attachments are persisted separately. This does not implement invoicing, an external client portal or a tenant isolation guarantee. Configure your own SMTP service if email delivery is needed.

Run one replica for volume-backed applications. Schedule volume backups and export important application data; a persistent volume is not a backup. Keep generated secrets with the backups and review upstream migration notes before changing the pinned image. Credentials cannot all be rotated by changing first-run environment variables after accounts already exist.

Validation status

Prepared on 2026-10-18 from upstream installation documentation and public image manifests. Railway schema, variable references and publication metadata are checked before publication. Application runtime boot checks were not performed. This is an independently authored deployment recipe for existing software, not a claim of novel software, audited security or Railway partner verification.
