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.
