## Documentation

# Deploy and Host copyparty on Railway

[copyparty](https://github.com/9001/copyparty) is a file server: browse, upload and download files over HTTP with resumable uploads, a media player, thumbnails and search.

## About Hosting copyparty

This template runs the official `copyparty/ac` image with a volume at `/w`. Everyone can read the files; only the `admin` account can upload, change or delete. The admin password is the generated variable `ADMIN_PASSWORD` in the service's Variables tab. Log in at the top of the page with user `admin`.

## Common Use Cases

- Share files and folders with a link
- Upload large files with resumable transfers
- Host a small music or photo library

## Dependencies for copyparty Hosting

- One service with a volume; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [copyparty on GitHub](https://github.com/9001/copyparty)

## Why Deploy copyparty on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts. Read `ADMIN_PASSWORD` from the Variables tab and log in as `admin`.
