Deploy on Railway

✨ Features

  • Strapi
  • Postgres

💁‍♀️ How to use

  • Click the Railway button 👆
  • Add the environment variables
    • If you choose not to add the Cloudinary related environment variables, your media will not be persisted between deploys.

💻 Developing locally

When developing locally this Strapi template will connect to the Postgres server from its public TCP Proxy

  • Clone the repository locally
  • Install the dependencies with yarn install or npm install
  • Install the Railway CLI, instructions for that can be found here
    • If this is your first time using the CLI make sure to login with railway login
  • Within the local repository run railway link to link the local repository to the Strapi service on Railway
  • Start Strapi for development with railway run yarn run develop or railway run npm run develop
    • This command run Strapi in development mode with the service variables available locally
  • Open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:1337/admin

📝 Notes

  • After your app is deployed, visit the /admin endpoint to create your admin user.
  • Railway's filesystem is ephemeral which is why any changes to the filesystem are not persisted between deploys. This is why, this template uses Cloudinary for media storage.
