### Deploy and Host AllTube on Railway
**AllTube** is a web user interface for youtube-dl / yt-dlp that enables users to download, stream, remux, and convert videos and audio from YouTube and hundreds of other supported websites. This Railway template deploys the `dnomd343/alltube:latest` Docker image as a lightweight web server listening on port `80` with automated HTTPS public access.
---
#### About Hosting AllTube
Hosting AllTube on Railway runs a single container using the `dnomd343/alltube:latest` image. It serves a clean, responsive HTML web application powered by PHP and underlying media extraction libraries. The server listens on internal port `80` and is exposed publicly via Railway's automatically generated HTTPS domain.
---
#### Common Use Cases
* **Web-based video & audio downloader**: Download videos from YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and over 1,000 supported platforms directly through your browser.
* **Format conversion & audio extraction**: Automatically extract MP3/AAC audio or convert video files on the fly before downloading.
* **Direct browser streaming**: Stream video or audio directly through the web interface without downloading the entire file first.
* **Self-hosted media grabber**: Maintain a private media downloading portal accessible from desktop or mobile devices.
---
#### Dependencies for AllTube Hosting
* **AllTube image:** `dnomd343/alltube:latest`
* **Railway public domain** mapped to port `80`
* No external database or persistent volume required
**Upstream:** [GitHub](https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube) · [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/dnomd343/alltube)
##### Implementation Details
| Item | Value |
| ------ | ------ |
| **Image** | `dnomd343/alltube:latest` |
| **Web UI Port** | `80` |
| **Volume Mount** | None required |
| **Domain** | `${{RAILWAY_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}}` |
---
#### Topology
| Service | Role | Volume | Public | Notes |
| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |
| **alltube** | Web UI + Downloader / Transcoder | None | Yes (Port `80`) | Single container running PHP + youtube-dl / yt-dlp |
###### Volumes (drives) — what to mount
This service operates statelessly. Downloaded files are converted/streamed in-flight or buffered temporarily in container memory during user sessions. No persistent volume is required.
---
#### Quick Start
1. Click the **[Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/deploy)** button above.
2. Sign in (or create a free Railway account) and click **Deploy**.
3. Wait 1–2 minutes for the container to provision and initialize.
4. Open the **alltube** service → **Settings** → **Networking** and click the generated public domain URL.
5. Paste any supported video or audio URL into the AllTube web interface to stream or download media.
---
#### Configuration
Container-level environment variables defined in the template:
| Variable | Default / Source | Description / Notes |
| ------ | ------ | ------ |
| `TITLE` | `My AllTube Site` | Web page heading and brand title displayed on the frontend |
| `CONVERT` | `true` | Enables video/audio format conversion options on downloads |
| `STREAM` | `true` | Enables direct media streaming in browser or downstream clients |
| `REMUX` | `true` | Enables remuxing audio and video streams on the fly |
| `PORT` | `80` | Internal HTTP port the web server listens on |
##### Custom Domain
1. Open the **alltube** service → **Settings** → **Networking** → **Custom Domain**.
2. Add your custom domain and follow Railway’s DNS configuration instructions.
3. Railway provisions TLS automatically.
4. Access your AllTube instance securely at `https://your.custom.domain`.
---
#### Updating AllTube
1. Open the **alltube** service → **Settings** → **Source**.
2. Trigger a redeploy or update the Docker image tag.
3. Click **Redeploy**.
Because AllTube is stateless, updates complete seamlessly without affecting persistent state.

#### Traps
**Ways this still fails or surprises people:**
* **Rate limiting & IP blocks by platforms** — High-volume downloading from YouTube or other video hosting providers may result in temporary IP bans or CAPTCHA requirements from the host platform.
* **Large file streaming timeouts** — Remuxing or converting extremely large high-resolution video files on the fly can consume significant container memory or hit HTTP timeout limits.
* **Upstream yt-dlp changes** — Video platforms frequently update their APIs and anti-bot measures. If downloads fail across all URLs, trigger a container redeploy to pull the latest image with updated extraction scripts.
* **Public exposure risks** — Deploying AllTube with a public domain exposes a media downloader to anyone with the link. Consider restricting access via custom domain authorization or Railway access controls if you want to prevent public bandwidth usage.

#### Why Deploy AllTube on Railway?
