## Deploy and Host Django 5.2 LTS on Railway

A production-ready Django 5.2 LTS starter template with PostgreSQL, WhiteNoise static files, and gunicorn. One-click deploy to Railway with automatic database provisioning, migrations, and a built-in deployment checklist.

### About Hosting Django Starter Template

This template deploys a Django 5.2 LTS application with a PostgreSQL database on Railway. It includes production-ready settings out of the box: WhiteNoise for static file serving, gunicorn as the WSGI server, Argon2 password hashing, and security headers. The app runs database migrations automatically on each deploy and includes a health check endpoint for zero-downtime deployments. Environment variables like SECRET\_KEY and DATABASE\_URL are configured automatically by Railway.

### Why Deploy Django Starter Template on Railway

Railway handles infrastructure so you can focus on building your Django app. It automatically provisions a PostgreSQL database, sets environment variables, runs migrations on each deploy, and provides zero-downtime deployments with health checks. No Dockerfiles, no nginx config, no manual server setup required.

### Dependencies for Django Starter Template

#### Deployment Dependencies

-   **PostgreSQL** — Provisioned automatically by Railway as a linked database service
-   **Python 3.12+** — Detected and installed automatically by Railway's builder
-   **gunicorn** — WSGI server included in the template dependencies
-   **WhiteNoise** — Serves static files directly from the application, no nginx or CDN needed

### Common Use Cases

-   Starting a new Django web application with a solid production foundation
-   Building REST APIs or full-stack web apps with Django and PostgreSQL
-   Prototyping and deploying Django projects quickly without manual server configuration
