Deploy and Host Firefox Browser in the cloud on Railway

Your own Firefox web browser running in the cloud, streamed to any device. Your profile, logins, bookmarks and add-ons are kept on a volume, so the browser is exactly as you left it every time you come back.

About Hosting Firefox Browser in the cloud

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image firefox:latest as one Railway service. Firefox 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 Firefox profile, logins, bookmarks and extensions survive restarts and redeploys.

Common Use Cases

A persistent browser session you can continue from your laptop, phone or tablet
Keeping long-running web tasks open without leaving your own computer on
A privacy-focused browser on a separate cloud IP, apart from your personal machine

Dependencies for Firefox Browser in the cloud 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; Firefox opens full screen. Copy and paste between your device and the cloud browser with the clipboard in the side panel. Give the service at least 1 GB of memory; add more if you keep many tabs open. Image: lscr.io/firefox:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-firefox).
