## Documentation

# Deploy and Host KitchenOwl household on Railway

KitchenOwl is a private household organizer for groceries, recipes, meal plans, shared expenses, and family collaboration.

## About Hosting KitchenOwl household

The template runs the immutable KitchenOwl 0.7.10 image behind an onboarding-only Caddy credential with closed public registration. One 5 GB volume preserves the SQLite database and household uploads.

## Why Deploy KitchenOwl household on Railway

Railway supplies HTTPS, generated secrets, health-gated deployment, and durable storage. A generated Basic Auth credential protects only first-owner onboarding, so an unauthenticated visitor cannot claim setup while normal KitchenOwl sessions remain unchanged.

## Common Use Cases

- Share grocery lists across a household
- Plan meals and organize recipes
- Track household shopping expenses

## Dependencies for KitchenOwl household Hosting

The deployment uses [KitchenOwl](https://kitchenowl.org), its [official source](https://github.com/TomBursch/kitchenowl), the [KitchenOwl documentation](https://docs.kitchenowl.org), [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com), and one Railway volume.

### Deployment Dependencies

- KitchenOwl 0.7.10
- Caddy onboarding gateway
- One 5 GB Railway volume
