# Deploy and Host Crucix on Railway

## About Hosting

[Crucix](https://github.com/calesthio/Crucix) is an open-source intelligence dashboard that combines macro, conflict, weather, transport, satellite, and social signals into one live interface. The app is a single Node.js service (`server.mjs`) with Server-Sent Events for real-time updates and a health endpoint at `/api/health`.

For Railway, the simplest setup is one service deployed from the upstream GitHub repository (`master` branch) using the included Dockerfile. Crucix works with zero API keys, then progressively improves as you add provider credentials.

## Why Deploy

- Run a private, self-hosted intelligence dashboard without third-party SaaS lock-in
- Keep deployment simple with one service and one public domain
- Start fast with optional API keys that can be added later
- Get built-in health checks and straightforward operational logs on Railway
- Enable optional LLM, Telegram, and Discord workflows only when needed

## Common Use Cases

- Monitoring geopolitical, economic, and energy signals in one dashboard
- Running a personal or team intelligence terminal for situational awareness
- Testing alert pipelines with Telegram or Discord notifications
- Building a research environment that can later layer in LLM-generated ideas
- Hosting a persistent internal dashboard for daily risk scanning
