## Documentation

# Deploy and Host ArcticWorks CodePeer on Railway

ArcticWorks CodePeer is a self-hosted AI code reviewer for GitHub. Install it as your own GitHub App and it watches every repository you give it access to: on each pull request it fetches the diff, runs a team of specialist LLM agents over it, and posts a review with a summary, severity-tagged inline comments, and one-click fix suggestions.

## About Hosting ArcticWorks CodePeer

CodePeer is a headless Go server with no web UI. It needs two things to run: a Postgres database, which stores installations, reviews, learning signals, and the job queue, and a public HTTPS endpoint that GitHub can deliver webhooks to. This template provisions both, wires `DATABASE_URL` between them, and exposes the bot on a Railway domain. Database migrations run automatically on startup, and health endpoints at `/healthz` and `/readyz` report liveness and database reachability. You supply your own GitHub App credentials and DeepSeek API key at deploy time, so your code and your secrets stay in infrastructure you control.

## Common Use Cases

- Automatic review coverage on every pull request across an organization, with findings posted as native GitHub review comments and `suggestion` blocks
- A second pair of eyes for small teams and solo maintainers who have no one else to review their code
- Repository-level policy enforcement, using per-repo `.codepeer.yml` rules and custom instructions to focus reviews on security, performance, or house style

## Dependencies for ArcticWorks CodePeer Hosting

- A PostgreSQL database (provisioned by this template)
- Your own GitHub App: App ID, private key, and webhook secret
- A DeepSeek API key for the review model

### Implementation Details

Create the GitHub App before deploying. It needs read and write on Pull requests, Issues, and Checks, read on Contents, and the `pull_request`, `push`, `issue_comment`, `installation`, and `installation_repositories` events. Generate a private key and paste it into `GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY` — the PEM works base64-encoded, which keeps it to a single line.

After the deploy, copy the service's Railway domain and set the App's webhook URL to `https:///webhook`, using the `GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET` value the template generated. Then install the App on the account, organization, or repositories you want reviewed.
