Manyfold on Railway

Railway template scaffolding for Manyfold, a self-hosted digital asset manager for 3D print files. The published Railway marketplace name is manyfold.

Based on the upstream Docker Compose standard (non-solo) stack.

The template runs Manyfold as three Railway services:

• app — Manyfold web UI + workers (public)
• postgres — application database
• redis — cache and background jobs (Redis 8; Railway deploys need auth in REDIS_URL)

Railway template

Follow docs/railway-wiring.md when creating or updating the marketplace template. It contains the exact service names, reference variables, generated secrets, ports, healthchecks, and volume mounts.

Paste docs/description.md into the Railway template Description field when publishing.

Only the app URL should be opened in a browser. Postgres and Redis stay on Railway private networking. Railway allows one volume per service — mount /models only; the upstream plugins path is ephemeral on Railway (see wiring docs).

The wrapper currently tracks Manyfold 0.146.0 (Docker Hub semver tag for upstream release v0.146.0).

Run locally

1. Copy .env.example to .env.
2. Replace SECRET_KEY_BASE with a long random value (openssl rand -hex 64).
3. Start the stack:

docker compose up --build

Open http://localhost:3214. Create the administrator account when prompted, then add a library pointed at /models (the mounted volume).

Updating Manyfold

1. Bump the image tag in services/app/Dockerfile to the new Docker Hub semver (GitHub release vX.Y.Z → image tag X.Y.Z).
2. Diff upstream docker-compose.example.yml and configuration docs for env/volume changes and port them here.
3. Run docker compose config and smoke-test /health, first-admin setup, library creation against /models, and a small model upload.

upstream-check.yml opens a version-bump PR weekly. Manyfold's Docker tags omit the leading v from GitHub releases — strip it if a bot PR rewrites FROM to a non-existent v* tag before merging.
