Deploy and Host Cobalt Tools - Complete Setup on Railway

Cobalt Tools Complete Setup deploys both the Cobalt API and a beautiful web interface in one template. It provides a full self-hosted media downloader experience with API backend and modern frontend connected together.

About Hosting Cobalt Tools - Complete Setup

This template automatically provisions two services in a single deployment: the Cobalt Tools API and the Cobalt Web UI frontend. The Web UI is pre-configured to communicate with the API, allowing you to immediately use a clean and modern interface without manual configuration.

The Cobalt API handles media processing for supported platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, and others. The Web UI provides an easy-to-use frontend so you and your users can paste links and download media directly through the browser.

This Complete Setup is ideal if you want a ready-to-use Cobalt instance without deploying and connecting the API and frontend separately.

• Private media downloader for personal or team use
• Easy-to-use frontend connected to your own Cobalt backend
• One-click deployment of complete Cobalt stack on Railway
• Alternative to public cobalt.tools with full control and privacy
