Why deploy on Railyard

Railyard provisions all 2 services in this stack together — wekan, wekan-mongo — wired to reach each other over the private network, on a server you already pay for.

Deploying Wekan 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

A small team's Kanban board without a paid Trello subscription
Self-hosted project/task tracking with swimlanes, checklists and due dates

Good to know

Upstream's own reference compose uses FerretDB (a MongoDB-wire-protocol layer over SQLite) instead of real MongoDB — this template uses a real standalone MongoDB server instead, same image already verified for Rocket.Chat elsewhere in this catalog, with METEOR_REACTIVITY_ORDER set to polling so a replica set isn't required
No admin account is pre-seeded — the first visit to the app creates the first (admin) user
Not yet live-verified on a Railyard server — needs a real dogfood deploy pass before this flips to verified: true
