# Deploy and Host Grav on Railway

[Grav](https://github.com/getgrav/grav) is a fast flat-file CMS: pages are Markdown files, so no database is needed.

## About Hosting Grav

This template runs the `linuxserver/grav` image (Grav with the admin plugin) with a persistent volume at `/config`, so pages, plugins and config survive redeploys. Open `/admin` on first visit and create your admin account right away; whoever opens it first becomes the admin.

## Common Use Cases

- Personal sites and blogs
- Documentation and portfolio sites
- Small business sites

## Dependencies for Grav Hosting

- One service with a volume; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Grav on GitHub](https://github.com/getgrav/grav)
- [Docker image](https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-grav/)

## Why Deploy Grav on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain.
