## Documentation

# AstrBot — AI Agent Assistant & Chatbot Platform

[![Deploy to Railway](https://railway.app/button.svg)](https://railway.com/deploy/astrbot-1)

AstrBot is an open-source AI agent assistant and chatbot platform that supports multiple messaging platforms, LLM providers, and plugin extensions. Deploy a self-hosted instance on Railway in one click.

# Deploy and Host AstrBot

Deploying AstrBot on Railway gives you a self-hosted AI agent platform with persistent storage, automatic scaling, and a managed environment. No server maintenance required.

## About Hosting

AstrBot runs as a single container on Railway with a persistent volume for SQLite data. The WebUI is served on port 6185 and accessible via your Railway public domain.

## Why Deploy

- **One-click deploy**: No manual server setup — Railway handles provisioning, networking, and SSL
- **Persistent storage**: SQLite data survives restarts via Railway volume mounts
- **Auto-redeploy**: Push to your connected GitHub repo to trigger fresh deploys
- **Managed infrastructure**: Railway handles health checks, logging, and DNS

## Common Use Cases

- **Personal AI assistant**: Connect to your preferred LLM and chat from any platform
- **Multi-platform bot**: Bridge QQ, Telegram, Discord, WeChat, and more through one backend
- **Plugin development**: Build and test community plugins in a live environment
- **Team chatbot**: Deploy a shared agent with session isolation and persona management

## Dependencies for AstrBot

AstrBot is fully self-contained. It bundles:
- FastAPI web server
- SQLite database (no external DB needed)
