# Deploy and Host

## About Hosting

Homarr is a lightweight, self-contained Node.js application that can run on minimal hardware. On Railway, it deploys instantly with no external database required — SQLite is included by default. You can optionally configure PostgreSQL or MySQL for multi-user production deployments.

## Why Deploy

Deploying Homarr on Railway gives you:
- Instant HTTPS via Railway domains
- Zero-config deployment with the default SQLite backend
- Automatic restarts and health checks
- Easy scaling if you need PostgreSQL for larger deployments
- Private networking for connecting to your other Railway services

## Common Use Cases

- Personal dashboard to organize all your self-hosted apps
- Team dashboard for monitoring CI/CD pipelines and services
- Home lab control panel with quick access to all services
- Status board showing live metrics from integrated apps

## Dependencies for

For a basic Homarr deployment, you only need the Homarr service itself. For advanced setups using an external database, you'll also need:

### Deployment Dependencies

- **PostgreSQL** or **MySQL** service (optional) — if you configure `DB_DRIVER` and connection variables, Homarr will use an external database instead of the built-in SQLite.
