## Documentation

# Deploy and Host GIMP in your browser on Railway

The GIMP image editor running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Retouch photos, edit images and create graphics from any computer, with your files, brushes and plugins kept between sessions.

## About Hosting GIMP in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image `gimp:latest` as one Railway service. GIMP 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 images, brushes and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

## Common Use Cases

- Editing photos and graphics from a Chromebook, tablet or shared computer
- A free Photoshop alternative you can reach from anywhere
- Keeping image projects in one place in the cloud

## Dependencies for GIMP 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`; GIMP 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 1.5 GB of memory. Image: lscr.io/gimp:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-gimp).
