Deploy and Host Cap on Railway

Cap is a modern, self-hosted CAPTCHA alternative that uses proof-of-work challenges instead of annoying visual puzzles. It's privacy-first, lightweight (~20kb), and 250x smaller than hCaptcha, making it perfect for protecting your website without frustrating your users.

About Hosting Cap

Hosting Cap gives you a privacy-respecting CAPTCHA solution that you fully control. Instead of relying on third-party services like Google reCAPTCHA, you run your own CAPTCHA server. Cap verifies that users are human by asking their browser to solve a computational challenge rather than making them click on traffic lights or storefronts. Your users get a faster, cleaner experience, and you get better privacy since Cap doesn't track or collect user data. The server includes a dashboard where you can create API keys, view usage statistics, and customize your CAPTCHA settings. When deployed on Railway, Cap runs automatically without manual configuration.
