Strapi |
A self-hosted version of Strapi using a Postgres database |
|
Strapi example
This example deploys self-hosted version of Strapi. Internally it uses a PostgreSQL database to store the data.
✨ Features
- Strapi
- Postgres
- For local developement sqlite with the package better-sqlite is configured based on the nodejs environment that is used. See ./config/database.js and ./config/env/production/database.js
💁♀️ How to use
- Click the Railway button 👆
- Add the environment variables
- If you do not add the Cloudinary related environment variables, your images/files will not be persisted between deploys.
📝 Notes
- After your app is deployed, visit the
/adminendpoint 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 example uses Cloudinary for storage.
- This template does support the strapi data transfer feature, see https://docs.strapi.io/dev-docs/data-management/transfer .
Local Development
- Up first you need a valid .env file to run this locally. Edit the .env.example (cloudinary is optional) and rename it to .env . See the current strapi documentation for examples and what those values are used for.
- Do not add this to your github-repository!
- Build your strapi admin interface: 'yarn build'
- And run it with 'yarn dev'
- After your app is running, visit the
http://localhost:1337/adminendpoint to create your admin user.
