## Documentation

# Deploy and Host KiCad in your browser on Railway

The KiCad electronics design suite running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Draw schematics and lay out PCBs from any computer, with your projects and libraries kept on a volume.

## About Hosting KiCad in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image `kicad:latest` as one Railway service. KiCad 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 projects, libraries and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

## Common Use Cases

- Designing circuit boards from a Chromebook or shared computer
- Keeping PCB projects and libraries in one place
- Teaching or learning electronics design with nothing to install

## Dependencies for KiCad 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`; KiCad 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 2 GB of memory. Image: lscr.io/kicad:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-kicad).
