Deploy and Host Cloudreve on Railway

image

Cloudreve is an open source, self-hosted cloud storage and file management platform. It provides a modern web interface to store, manage, and share files across multiple backends, including local storage, S3, OneDrive, and other cloud providers. With support for multi-user management, WebDAV, and direct upload, Cloudreve is a flexible Google Drive alternative.

About Hosting Cloudreve

Hosting Cloudreve on Railway allows you to quickly deploy a scalable, private cloud storage solution without complex setup. Once deployed, Cloudreve gives you a fully managed file hub with browser-based access, user accounts, and seamless integration with multiple storage providers. You can upload, download, and stream directly between client and cloud storage, manage permissions, and even enable background torrent or Aria2 downloads. With Railway handling your infrastructure, you can focus entirely on managing your files and collaboration platform.

I’ve personally tested many open source storage systems while searching for something that can truly replace Google Drive. Nextcloud and its forks didn’t quite fit my needs; Filebrowser is great but lacks some advanced features. Cloudreve, however, feels polished, modern, and capable, bringing together the best of both worlds. Try it out and see if it can become your new all-in-one file storage solution.

Common Use Cases

  • Private cloud drive or personal NAS replacement
  • Team-based file sharing and collaborative file management
  • Unified interface connecting multiple cloud storage providers

Dependencies for Cloudreve Hosting

  • Database (PostgreSQL)
  • Redis (but, this tempalte uses Valkey)
  • Persistent volume for file storage and configuration
