## Documentation

# Faved

A lightweight, privacy-first bookmark manager with a clean, fast UI — self-hosted on Railway.

[![Deploy to Railway](https://railway.app/button.svg)](https://railway.com/deploy/faved)

## Why Deploy

Faved is a lightweight, SQLite-backed bookmark manager that runs on a single Railway service with one persistent volume — no external database, no complex setup. Deploy in under two minutes, and your bookmarks survive restarts and redeploys.

## Features

- Minimal, distraction-free bookmark management
- Tag-based organization and quick search
- Privacy-first — no telemetry, no tracking
- Self-hosted with persistent storage
- Automatic HTTPS via Railway
- Health monitoring via Railway proxy

## Configuration

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `PORT` | HTTP listen port | `80` |

## Volumes

- `/var/www/html/storage` — Persistent bookmark and tag data (SQLite database + bookmark images)

Note: Railway allows one volume per service; sessions use ephemeral `/tmp` and are reset on redeploy (bookmark data is unaffected).

## Deploy and Host

Click the Deploy to Railway button above to deploy Faved on Railway. Persistent volumes are configured automatically so your bookmarks survive redeployments.

## About Hosting

This template runs Faved on Railway, a cloud platform that handles infrastructure, scaling, and HTTPS. All bookmark data is stored on a persistent volume for durability. Railway provides automatic TLS termination and private networking between services.

## Common Use Cases

- Personal bookmark library with fast search
- Team bookmark sharing with tags
- Privacy-focused alternative to browser bookmark sync
- Read-it-later service with organizational tags
