📝 Notes

Use the flowise-railway template (https://railway.app/template/pn4G8S) if you don't need pre-configured persisted volume, postgis and private networking on Railway.

Deploy Flowise with Railway

✨ Features

• Pre-configured persisted volume.
• Most of the Flowise configs are pre-configured.
• Use Postgres/Postgis as the default database for Flowise.
• The communication from Flowise to database is accomplished through the railway internal private network, reducing unnecessary egress fees.

✅ Prerequisite

• Postgres or Postgis was already deployed to an environment on Railway
• Flowise and Postgres have to be deployed to the same environment in order to leverage the benefits of private networking on Railway.
• flowise database was already created in Postgres

Start Flowise with Docker Compose (Local development)

💁‍♂️ Usage

1. Create .env file and specify the PORT (refer to .env.example)
2. docker-compose up -d
3. Open http://localhost:3000
4. You can bring the containers down by docker-compose stop

🔒 Authentication

1. Create .env file and specify the PORT, FLOWISE_USERNAME, and FLOWISE_PASSWORD (refer to .env.example)
2. Pass FLOWISE_USERNAME and FLOWISE_PASSWORD to the docker-compose.yml file:

   environment:
       - PORT=${PORT}
       - FLOWISE_USERNAME=${FLOWISE_USERNAME}
       - FLOWISE_PASSWORD=${FLOWISE_PASSWORD}
   

3. docker-compose up -d
4. Open http://localhost:3000
5. You can bring the containers down by docker-compose stop

🌱 Env Variables

If you like to persist your data (flows, logs, apikeys, credentials), set these variables in the .env file inside docker folder:

• DATABASE_PATH=/root/.flowise
• APIKEY_PATH=/root/.flowise
• LOG_PATH=/root/.flowise/logs
• SECRETKEY_PATH=/root/.flowise

Flowise also support different environment variables to configure your instance. Read more
