# Deploy and Host Fedis on Railway

Fedis is a fast Redis-compatible server written in Rust. It supports common Redis commands, optional password authentication, append-only file (AOF) persistence, periodic snapshots, and a Prometheus-style metrics endpoint. Fedis is a lightweight drop-in cache or state layer for apps that want Redis-like behavior with a focused, self-hosted runtime.

## About Hosting Fedis

Hosting Fedis on Railway is straightforward: run the container, expose port `6379`, and configure persistence and auth with environment variables. For production usage, attach a persistent volume and set `FEDIS_DATA_PATH` (or `FEDIS_AOF_PATH`) so data survives restarts and deploys. You can secure access by setting `FEDIS_PASSWORD` (and optional `FEDIS_USERNAME`/`FEDIS_USERS`), then connect from your app using standard Redis clients. If you need observability, enable the metrics endpoint with `FEDIS_METRICS_ADDR` and scrape it from your monitoring stack. The result is a managed, Redis-compatible service with minimal operational overhead.

## Common Use Cases

- Session and API response caching for web backends
- Lightweight queues, counters, and ephemeral state storage
- Local development or internal environments that need Redis protocol compatibility

## Dependencies for Fedis Hosting

- A persistent Railway volume for durable AOF/snapshot data
- Client/application connectivity using a Redis-compatible client library

### Deployment Dependencies

- Fedis container image: `ghcr.io/lassejlv/fedis:latest`
- Railway volume docs: https://docs.railway.com/guides/volumes
- Railway variables docs: https://docs.railway.com/guides/variables

### Implementation Details

Set the most common runtime variables:

```env
FEDIS_PORT=6379
FEDIS_PASSWORD=change-me
FEDIS_DATA_PATH=/data
FEDIS_AOF_PATH=/data/fedis.aof
FEDIS_AOF_FSYNC=everysec
```

Typical container/service port: `6379`.

## Why Deploy Fedis on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Fedis on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
