Deploy and Host ControlR on Railway

ControlR is an open-source, self-hostable remote control and remote access solution. It has cross-platform support for Windows, Mac, and Linux, allowing you to manage, troubleshoot, and control your devices remotely.

About Hosting ControlR

The template includes sane defaults for most configuration values. You only need to set an authentication token for the metrics container to get started.

The first account you create will be the server and tenant admin. Afterward, self-registration is disabled, and nobody else can join the server unless you explicitly invite them.

Note that account emails are disabled by default (forgot password, new account confirmation, etc.) since SMTP requires a Pro Railway subscription.
