Deploy and Host melodious-respect on Railway

melodious-respect is a self-hosted personal music streaming server built in Nim. It streams audio files directly from private or public Git repositories, making it simple, secure, and portable.

About Hosting melodious-respect

Hosting melodious-respect on Railway allows you to run a private, on-demand music streaming service without worrying about server setup or storage. Instead of uploading music directly to the hosting platform, you connect a private GitHub or GitLab repository containing your music library. melodious-respect then streams files securely from Git, removing the need for persistent storage. Railway handles deployment, scaling, and uptime, while you retain full control of your music through Git. This setup ensures easy backups, version control, and the flexibility to access your collection globally on desktop or mobile.
