Deploy and Host Ardour in your browser on Railway

The Ardour digital audio workstation running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Record, edit and mix audio projects from any computer, with your sessions kept on a volume.

About Hosting Ardour in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image ardour:latest as one Railway service. Ardour runs inside a minimal desktop and is streamed to your browser over Railway's HTTPS domain on port 3000. HTTP basic auth protects it with CUSTOM_USER and a generated PASSWORD that you copy from the service Variables. A volume is mounted at /config, so your sessions and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

Common Use Cases

Editing and mixing audio sessions from any device
A free DAW with nothing to install
Keeping music and podcast sessions in one place in the cloud

Dependencies for Ardour in your browser Hosting

No other services: one container plus a volume
Any modern browser on the device you open it from

Implementation Details

Open the Railway domain and sign in with CUSTOM_USER and PASSWORD; Ardour opens full screen. Upload and download files and copy and paste between your device and the cloud through the side panel. Give the service at least 2 GB of memory. Image: lscr.io/ardour:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-ardour).
