Deploy and Host DeepTutor on Railway

DeepTutor is an open-source, lifelong personalized tutoring system. Deploy the official DeepTutor container on Railway with persistent storage, protected administrator access, and an OpenAI model configuration.

About Hosting DeepTutor

This template runs the official ghcr.io/hkuds/deeptutor:latest image as one Railway service. A volume mounted at /app/data preserves DeepTutor settings and tutoring data across restarts. The service enables secure administrator authentication and exposes the web application through Railway's generated public domain.

Why Deploy DeepTutor on Railway

Railway provides managed deployment, networking, logs, restarts, and persistent volumes in one place. The template supplies the tested service configuration while keeping your OpenAI credential and administrator password as required deployment inputs rather than embedded values.
