# Deploy and Host Agent Zero on Railway

[Agent Zero](https://github.com/agent0ai/agent-zero) is an open-source, general-purpose AI agent. It runs tasks by writing and executing code in its own Linux environment, searches the web, keeps memory between chats and can use tools and sub-agents.

## About Hosting Agent Zero

This template runs the official `agent0ai/agent-zero` image with a persistent volume at `/a0/usr` for settings, memory, chats and your files. The agent can run shell commands inside its container, so the web UI is protected by a login that is generated for you: open the service in Railway, go to Variables and read `AUTH_LOGIN` and `AUTH_PASSWORD`, then sign in with them. Do not remove these variables.

After signing in, open Settings and choose an LLM provider and enter its API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, a local Ollama endpoint, etc.). No model key is included.

## Common Use Cases

- Automate research, scripting and data tasks with an agent that has a real shell
- Build long-running assistants with persistent memory
- Experiment with multi-agent workflows

## Dependencies for Agent Zero Hosting

- One service with a volume; an API key from an LLM provider (entered in the UI)

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Agent Zero on GitHub](https://github.com/agent0ai/agent-zero)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/agent0ai/agent-zero)

## Why Deploy Agent Zero on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain, and keeps the agent in an isolated container away from your own machine.
