## About Hosting ZAP OWASP Web Interface

This boilerplate deploys a ZAP API-backed web interface alongside a ZAP Docker container, a React frontend, and optional PostgreSQL persistence for scan results. It provides a no-fuss, one-click deployment path on Railway, with memory considerations clearly documented. The setup is ideal for light to medium-sized scans and for anyone exploring cloud-based security tooling.

## Common Use Cases

- Running OWASP ZAP vulnerability scans in the cloud without local installs  
- Learning ZAP workflow end-to-end with a hosted interface  
- Prototyping automation for scan scheduling and PDF reporting

## Dependencies for ZAP OWASP Web Interface Hosting

- GitHub account and Railway account  
- Railway Hobby plan (€5/month)  
- Sufficient memory: minimum 2GB RAM for reliable scans

### Deployment Dependencies

- ZAP Docker image: zaproxy/zap-weekly or zaproxy/zap-stable  
- Postgres
- Node.js

### Implementation Details

- Preconfigured React frontend with Mantine UI  
- ZAP Docker container connected to a web interface  
- Optional PostgreSQL for persisting scan results  
- PDF report generation for scan results

## Why Deploy ZAP OWASP Web Interface on Railway?

Railway provides a simple, scalable way to run cloud services without local installs. It enables quick experiments with OWASP scans in a controlled environment, while keeping deployment and configuration minimal.

By deploying this ZAP OWASP Web Interface on Railway, you get a convenient, cloud-based vulnerability scanning workflow that’s easy to prototype and share with your team.
