Deploy and Host 2Fauth on Railway

2Fauth is a self-hosted two-factor authentication (2FA) manager designed to securely store and manage your TOTP/HOTP secrets in a private environment. It provides a simple, privacy-first interface and is ideal for individuals and teams who want to keep their authentication tokens under their own control rather than relying on third-party providers.

About Hosting 2Fauth

Hosting 2Fauth allows you to run your own secure 2FA service on your infrastructure. With this template, deploying on Railway is fast and requires minimal configuration. Railway handles provisioning, builds, and hosting so you can focus on managing your authentication tokens. Once deployed, 2Fauth can be accessed via a browser with optional SSL configuration and can be connected to your preferred storage and authentication layers. This gives you full control, enhanced security, and flexibility in your deployment environment.
