Why Deploy Industry RSS Radar with Miniflux 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

Follow vendor release feeds.
Read standards and regulatory news feeds.
Build a focused daily reading queue.

Dependencies for Industry RSS Radar with Miniflux

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

Read entries are eligible for cleanup after 90 days and unread ones after 180 days. This is an RSS reader, not a crawler or a generated newsletter service. Feed availability depends on publishers.

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.
