Deploy and Host Krita in your browser on Railway

The Krita digital painting app running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Paint, sketch and edit illustrations from any computer, with your brushes, resources and files kept between sessions.

About Hosting Krita in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image krita:latest as one Railway service. Krita 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 paintings, brushes and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

Common Use Cases

Digital painting and illustration from a Chromebook or a computer where you cannot install software
Keeping brushes, resources and work-in-progress files in one place you can reach from anywhere
Trying Krita without installing it

Dependencies for Krita 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; Krita 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/krita:latest (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-krita).
