Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions all 5 services in this stack together — penpot, penpot-frontend, penpot-exporter, penpot-db, penpot-redis — wired to reach each other over the private network, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Penpot (full stack) is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- Full product design and prototyping suite for a design team
- Design systems with shared libraries and tokens
- An open-source Figma alternative you fully control
Good to know
- No object storage bucket to create — assets live on one shared local volume between the backend, frontend and exporter, where Penpot's own self-hosting guide has you wire up a separate S3/MinIO bucket
- Registration is open and email verification is disabled by default (PENPOT_FLAGS) — lock those down before inviting anyone outside your team
