Deploy and Host Command on Railway

Command is a self-hosted server for the Command planner app: notes, calendar, goals and delegation, served as a REST API for the iOS app and an MCP server for AI agents, all over a single SQLite database.

About Hosting Command

This template runs the official ghcr.io/legitimate-apps/command-server image as one service with a persistent volume at /data (the SQLite database and self-generated server secrets live there) and a public HTTPS Railway domain. No configuration is required: press Deploy, wait for the service to turn green, then copy the service's https://…up.railway.app domain into the Command app.

Common Use Cases

Run your own private backend for the Command iOS / iPad / Mac app
Give an AI agent (via MCP) access to your notes, goals and assignments
Keep your planning data on infrastructure you control

Dependencies for Command Hosting

A Railway volume mounted at /data (included)
Optional: an OpenRouter API key (COMMAND_AI_API_KEY) to enable the in-app assistant
