## Documentation

# 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.

## Common Use Cases

- Personal knowledge management
- Internal team documentation
- Lightweight private wiki

## Dependencies for LeafWiki Hosting

- One persistent volume mounted to `/app/data`
- Required environment variable:
  - `LEAFWIKI_JWT_SECRET`

### Deployment Dependencies

- LeafWiki container image: https://ghcr.io/perber/leafwiki
- LeafWiki source repository: https://github.com/perber/leafwiki
