# Deploy and Host Higress on Railway

## About Hosting Higress on Railway
This template runs Higress as a single Docker-based Railway service using a prebuilt image. Railway provides managed networking, rapid redeploys, and simple environment-variable configuration for quick browser access.

## Tech Stack
- Higress all-in-one (API Gateway + Console)
- Envoy + Istio control-plane components (bundled in image)
- Railway managed container runtime and public domain

## Why Deploy Higress on Railway
Railway enables one-click deployment with minimal operational overhead while preserving Higress upstream startup behavior. This template uses a Docker image source only, avoiding source-build instability and keeping deployment predictable.

## Common Use Cases
- AI gateway and model provider traffic unification
- API gateway prototyping with browser-accessible console
- Plugin-based API governance and traffic management testing

## Deployment Notes
- Image source: `xiaosong233/higress-railway:latest` (mirrored from upstream Higress all-in-one image).
- Public HTTP entry is mapped through `PORT=8001` to expose the Higress web console.
- No custom `startCommand` is set; upstream ENTRYPOINT/CMD is preserved.
- This template defaults to no attached volume for simpler one-click startup.

## Dependencies for Higress on Railway
This template is a single-service deployment with no external database dependency.
