## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Kaneo on Railway

## About Hosting Kaneo on Railway
Kaneo runs as its official combined web and API container on Railway, backed by a private PostgreSQL service with persistent storage.

## Tech Stack
- React and Vite web interface
- Node.js API
- Nginx reverse proxy
- PostgreSQL 16
- Docker containers on Railway

## Why Deploy Kaneo on Railway
Railway provides one-click container deployment, private service networking, managed TLS, generated domains, secrets, and persistent volumes with minimal operational setup.

## Common Use Cases
- Team project and task management
- Kanban planning and issue tracking
- Self-hosted collaboration workspaces
- Lightweight product development coordination

## Deployment Notes
Kaneo listens on port 5173 and proxies API traffic under `/api`. `KANEO_CLIENT_URL` uses the generated Railway domain. `AUTH_SECRET` and the PostgreSQL password are generated automatically. PostgreSQL uses `PGDATA` beneath its mounted volume to avoid the mount root `lost+found` directory. Create the first Kaneo account through the registration screen; Kaneo does not define an initial admin credential pair. Optional S3 uploads and social login integrations are not enabled.

## Dependencies for Kaneo on Railway
Kaneo depends on PostgreSQL over Railway private networking. PostgreSQL is not publicly exposed.
