Deploy and Host LibreOffice in your browser on Railway

The full LibreOffice suite running in the cloud and streamed to any browser: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw and Base. Open and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files from any device without installing an office suite.

About Hosting LibreOffice in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image libreoffice:latest as one Railway service. LibreOffice 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 documents and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

Common Use Cases

Editing Word, Excel and PowerPoint files from a Chromebook, tablet or shared computer
A free, private office suite with your documents stored on your own volume
Converting and fixing office documents without installing anything locally

Dependencies for LibreOffice 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; LibreOffice 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 1.5 GB of memory.
