## Documentation

# Deploy and Host maxun on Railway

Maxun is an open-source no-code platform for web scraping, crawling, search, and AI data extraction. Train robots in minutes to turn websites into structured APIs, schedules, and automations—without writing scrapers by hand.

## About Hosting maxun

This template deploys Maxun as a multi-service stack: an nginx gateway (single public origin for UI + API), frontend, backend, remote Chromium browser, PostgreSQL, and MinIO for screenshots. The gateway is required so Maxun’s httpOnly auth cookie works across login and API calls. Expect higher memory use on the backend and browser services during recording and scheduled runs. Optional Anthropic/OpenAI keys unlock AI mode; Google/Airtable OAuth is optional for integrations.

## Common Use Cases

- Build no-code scraping robots and expose results as APIs or exports
- Schedule recurring crawls and monitor runs from a web UI
- Extract structured data with optional LLM-assisted workflows

## Dependencies for maxun Hosting

- PostgreSQL (application data, sessions, schedules)
- MinIO (run screenshots and document storage)
- Remote Chromium / Playwright browser service
- Public object storage URL for browser-accessible media

### Deployment Dependencies

- Upstream project: [getmaxun/maxun](https://github.com/getmaxun/maxun)
- Template source: [osbytes/template-maxun](https://github.com/osbytes/template-maxun)
- Environment variable reference: [Maxun docs](https://docs.maxun.dev/installation/environment_variables)
- Wiring notes: [docs/railway-wiring.md](https://github.com/osbytes/template-maxun/blob/main/docs/railway-wiring.md)

### Implementation Details

Open only the **gateway** public URL after deploy (not separate frontend/backend domains). Auth uses an httpOnly `token` cookie and requires same-origin UI + API via the gateway.

Recommended sizing: backend ≥ 4 GB, browser ≥ 2 GB. MinIO must stay public for screenshot URLs. Set optional `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_API_KEY` for AI mode. Maxun does not ship a “disable registration” flag—register your account first, then block `POST /auth/register` at the edge if you need lockdown.

## Why Deploy maxun on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying maxun on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
