Railway provisions a libredesk service alongside managed PostgreSQL and Redis from a single template. The database schema installs automatically on first deploy.

Deploy

Deploy on Railway
1

Click Deploy on Railway

Sign in to Railway, then set LIBREDESK_SYSTEM_USER_PASSWORD in the deploy form. It must be 10 to 72 characters long and contain an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number and a special character (e.g. MyPassword@123).

Wait for the build

Railway provisions PostgreSQL, Redis, and the libredesk app, and assigns a *.up.railway.app domain to the libredesk service. The schema installs automatically on first boot.

Log in

Visit the assigned domain and sign in with:
  • Email: System
  • Password: the password from step 1

​
Configuration

To override any libredesk setting, add an environment variable under the libredesk service’s Variables tab. All variables use the LIBREDESK_ prefix with double underscores (__) for nested keys. The per-file upload limit is a separate setting, Max allowed file upload size under Admin → General. See configuration via environment variables for how keys map to variable names. config.sample.toml lists every key.
Don’t change the auto-injected database and Redis variables. Railway manages those references.

​
Updating libredesk

Redeploy the libredesk service from the Railway dashboard. It pulls the latest image and runs any pending migrations on startup.
