## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Manifest on Railway

## About Hosting Manifest on Railway
Manifest runs cleanly on Railway as a Docker-first deployment: one web service for the dashboard/API and one managed PostgreSQL service for persistent state.

## Tech Stack
- Manifest (NestJS + SolidJS single-service app image)
- PostgreSQL 18 (Railway template image)
- Docker images from Docker Hub and GHCR
- Railway managed networking and environment variables

## Why Deploy Manifest on Railway
Railway gives fast one-click container deployment, built-in private networking between services, managed Postgres volumes, and automatic HTTPS domains for immediate browser access.

## Common Use Cases
- Cost-optimized model routing for personal AI agents
- Unified dashboard for token/cost/message analytics
- Self-hosted OpenAI-compatible gateway for multi-provider routing
- Team/internal experimentation with routing tiers and fallbacks

## Deployment Notes
Use the pinned upstream image `manifestdotbuild/manifest:5.55.0` with no custom start command. Set `PORT=2099` for routing, wire `DATABASE_URL` from the Postgres service, and keep `BETTER_AUTH_URL` aligned with the public domain. Postgres persistence is at `/var/lib/postgresql/data`.

## Dependencies for Manifest on Railway
Manifest requires PostgreSQL for application data, migrations, auth/session storage, and analytics records.
