## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Artalk on Railway

Artalk is an open-source, self-hosted comment system for blogs and websites. It includes an embeddable client, moderation dashboard, multi-site support, spam protection, notifications, and APIs while keeping your data under your control.

## About Hosting Artalk

This template runs the official Artalk image on port 23366 and stores its SQLite database, configuration, and uploads in a Railway volume at `/data`. During deployment, you provide administrator credentials; the template creates the admin account automatically and configures the public domain and health check.

## Common Use Cases
