Postgres HA option missing

According to the docs here: https://docs.railway.com/databases/postgresql-ha there should be an option for high availability in settings. Sadly I do not see it... any ideas why it would be missing from the instance on my account?

You need to go to the Database tab > Config for HA conversion.

As you can see the option does not exist in the settings

The HA conversion option under Settings > High Availability only appears for Postgres services running one of the official Railway images (ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ssl or ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ha/postgres-patroni) and pinned to a specific major version (14, 15, 16, 17, or 18), not :latest. If your service uses a custom image (e.g. PostGIS, TimescaleDB) or isn't one of those official images, the option won't appear.

It is pinned to ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ssl:18.4 and the option is still not present

Thank you! I guess the docs are out of date 😄


I'll open a PR to update it. Thanks for letting us know.
