## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Fabriq Books on Railway

Fabriq Books is a multi-entity accounting application with ledger, sales/AR, and connections. This template deploys the Docker image `ghcr.io/fabriq-labs/fabriq-books-oss-test:latest` with Postgres. Secrets and defaults are generated automatically.

## About Hosting Fabriq Books

The app container serves the UI and API together. Postgres is provisioned as a separate Railway service and wired through `DATABASE_URL`. On first boot, `AUTO_SETUP=true` applies schema and seeds a demo admin user so you can sign in and finish onboarding in the browser.

## Why Deploy

- One-click Postgres + app from a public GHCR image
- JWT and database passwords generated with Railway secret expressions
- Health check on `/health`

## Common Use Cases

- Try Fabriq Books without local setup
- Demo or evaluation environments
- Self-hosted Books bootstrap

## Dependencies for Fabriq Books Hosting

- Railway account
- After deploy: open the public URL, wait for setup, sign in as `admin@example.com` / `admin123`, complete the wizard
