Deploy and Host AI Provider Gateway Starter on Railway

9Router with generated login, persistent config and your own AI providers.

About Hosting AI Provider Gateway Starter

This deployment fork provisions 9router. Application domains and any authored TCP endpoints are generated for each new deployment. Database and queue services are private by default.

Why Deploy AI Provider Gateway Starter on Railway

New setup and maintenance documentation with attribution to the original template.
Public container sources are locked by image digest and public Git repositories by commit SHA.
Database and queue services use private networking; external database access is an explicit deployer choice.
Generated first-login password and the upstream default startup command without a background heartbeat loop.

Common Use Cases

Route requests to AI providers you are authorized to use.
Keep provider configuration in one private dashboard.
Connect supported development clients to your gateway.

Dependencies for AI Provider Gateway Starter

A Railway account with capacity for 1 service definitions and the authored storage.
Your own external accounts and credentials when an integration or model provider is needed. No paid provider subscription is included.
Local passwords and service secrets are generated or referenced at deployment; external integrations are configured by the deployer.

First Launch

Open the generated domain and use INITIAL_PASSWORD from the variables for the first dashboard login. Configure your own provider accounts and keys, then connect your clients using the upstream documentation.

Included Services and Storage

Service	Persistent paths
9router	`/app/data`

Operations

No provider tokens, model subscriptions or API credits are included. Data persists at /app/data. Generated signing secrets must be retained with backups. Provider access and usage are subject to your own accounts and plans.

Railway bills the deployer for actual services, storage and network use. Back up persistent data before source/version changes. This publication was checked against Railway's configuration schema and upstream source/registry availability; a full runtime deployment test has not been performed.
