Deploy and Host LeafWiki on Railway

LeafWiki is a minimal, self-hosted wiki written in Go. It focuses on simplicity, fast performance, and Markdown-based content, making it well-suited for personal knowledge bases, internal documentation, and small team wikis without complex infrastructure.

About Hosting LeafWiki

LeafWiki runs as a single container with no external services required. All wiki content is stored on disk and persisted using a single mounted volume. Configuration is intentionally minimal and handled via environment variables. On Railway, deployment consists of attaching one persistent volume to the service and setting a JWT secret for authentication. Once deployed, LeafWiki is immediately usable through its web interface.
