## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Debian Linux Desktop (KDE Plasma) in your browser on Railway

A full Debian Linux desktop with KDE Plasma that runs in the cloud and opens in any modern browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Install apps with apt, browse the web, edit documents and keep everything between sessions, all behind a username and password.

## About Hosting Debian Linux Desktop (KDE Plasma) in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image `webtop:debian-kde` as one Railway service. The Debian KDE Plasma desktop is streamed to your browser over Railway's HTTPS domain on port 3000, and HTTP basic auth protects it with `CUSTOM_USER` and a generated `PASSWORD` that you copy from the service Variables. A volume is mounted at `/config`, the desktop user's home folder, so your files, settings and browser profiles survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

## Common Use Cases

- A private Linux desktop you can reach from any device, including Chromebooks and iPads
- A stable Debian workspace for long downloads, scripts or tools that keep running when your laptop is closed
- Trying KDE Plasma without installing anything on your own computer

## Dependencies for Debian Linux Desktop (KDE Plasma) in your browser Hosting

- No other services: one container plus a volume
- A modern browser; Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all work

### Implementation Details

Open the Railway domain, sign in with `CUSTOM_USER` and `PASSWORD`, and the desktop loads. The desktop user has passwordless sudo, so you can install software:

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y gimp vlc
```

Give the service at least 2 GB of memory for a smooth session. Image: lscr.io/webtop:debian-kde (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop).
