Deploy and Host CareerOps Hub on Railway

CareerOps Hub is a centralized, AI-powered command center designed to automate the most tedious parts of job hunting. By leveraging Claude Code and an Ubuntu-based web terminal, it analyzes job descriptions, scores opportunities (A-F), and generates tailored, ATS-friendly CVs in real-time; all through a single, secure browser-based interface.

About Hosting CareerOps Hub

Hosting CareerOps Hub on Railway involves deploying a customized Ubuntu container pre-configured with a full DevOps-ready stack. The deployment includes Node.js 20 LTS for the core application logic, Playwright for automated PDF rendering (Chromium), and ttyd for secure web terminal access. By using Railway’s persistent volumes, your CVs, tailored profiles, and AI logs remain safe across redeployments. This cloud-native approach ensures your AI agent stays active 24/7, allowing you to scan job portals and prepare applications from any device without the need for local processing power or complex setup.

Implementation Details

The template utilizes a multi-stage logic to ensure your workspace is always ready. Even when mounting a new Railway Volume, the system automatically populates the necessary configuration files from a backup source upon the first boot. Once the terminal is live, follow these steps:

1. Authorize AI: Run claude and follow the OAuth link to connect your Anthropic account.
2. Define Your Profile: Navigate to cd config and edit profile.yml using nano to set your career targets.
3. Deploy Your CV: Create your master CV file: nano /root/workspace/cv.md (Paste your CV in Markdown format).
4. Execute Operations: Simply paste a job URL into the terminal or run the /career-ops command to start the engine.
