Deploy and Host digiKam in your browser on Railway

The digiKam photo management app running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Organize, tag and edit large photo collections from any computer, with your library kept on a volume.

About Hosting digiKam in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image digikam:latest as one Railway service. digiKam runs inside a minimal desktop and is streamed to your browser over Railway's HTTPS domain on port 3000. 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, so your photo library and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

Common Use Cases

Organizing and tagging a photo library from any device
Batch editing and converting photos in the cloud
A free Lightroom-style library manager with nothing to install

Dependencies for digiKam in your browser Hosting

No other services: one container plus a volume
Any modern browser on the device you open it from

Implementation Details

Open the Railway domain and sign in with CUSTOM_USER and PASSWORD; digiKam opens full screen. Upload and download files and copy and paste between your device and the cloud through the side panel. Give the service at least 2 GB of memory. Image: lscr.io/digikam:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-digikam).
