# Deploy and Host Andromeda - OG on Railway

Andromeda - OG is a self-hosted Open Graph tag inspector written in Go. Paste any URL and it fetches the page, parses its Open Graph and meta tags, and renders a preview of how the link appears when shared. Templates and static assets are embedded in the binary.

## About Hosting Andromeda - OG

Hosting Andromeda - OG means running a single, stateless Go binary that serves a search form and inspects URLs on demand over HTTP. There is no database and nothing to persist, so deployment requires only the bind host and port. The binary embeds all templates and static assets, and the image is built from the included Dockerfile. On Railway, the build produces the container, the service listens on the configured port, and no volume or external service is needed. The host needs outbound network access to fetch inspected URLs.

## Common Use Cases

- Previewing how a link will render when shared on social platforms
- Debugging missing or malformed Open Graph tags on your own pages
- A quick internal tool for content/marketing teams to validate share cards

## Dependencies for Andromeda - OG Hosting

- Outbound network access to fetch inspected URLs
- No database or volume required — stateless

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Andromeda repository](https://github.com/stevedylandev/andromeda)
- [Releases page](https://github.com/stevedylandev/andromeda/releases?q=og%2F)
- [The Open Graph protocol](https://ogp.me/)

### Implementation Details 

Environment variables:

```bash
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=3000
```

Routes: `GET /` search form; `POST /check` inspect a URL (form field `url`). Set `HOST=0.0.0.0` so Railway can route traffic to the service.

## Why Deploy Andromeda - OG on Railway?


Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Andromeda - OG on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
