Deploy and Host Chromium Browser in the cloud on Railway

Your own Chromium web browser running in the cloud, streamed to any device. Logins, bookmarks, extensions and open tabs are kept on a volume, so the browser is exactly as you left it every time you come back.

About Hosting Chromium Browser in the cloud

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image chromium:latest as one Railway service. Chromium 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 Chromium profile, logins, bookmarks and extensions survive restarts and redeploys.

Common Use Cases

A persistent browser session you can continue from your laptop, phone or tablet
Keeping long-running web tasks open without leaving your own computer on
Browsing from a separate cloud IP and keeping work profiles apart from your personal machine

Dependencies for Chromium Browser in the cloud 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; Chromium opens full screen. Copy and paste between your device and the cloud browser with the clipboard in the side panel. Give the service at least 1 GB of memory; add more if you keep many tabs open. Image: lscr.io/chromium:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-chromium).
