Deploy and Host Möbius on Railway

Möbius is a self-hosted AI agent platform where you chat with Claude to build mini-apps, modify the interface, and automate tasks — all from your phone or browser. The agent edits its own source code and rebuilds live.

About Hosting Möbius

Möbius runs as a single Docker container: FastAPI serves the API and frontend, the Claude Code CLI runs as a subprocess for each chat message, and esbuild compiles mini-apps on the fly. All data — chats, apps, credentials, and theme — lives on a persistent volume at /data. Railway handles HTTPS automatically. After deploying, a setup wizard walks you through account creation and signing in with your Claude subscription. No additional configuration needed.

Common Use Cases

• Build custom tools: habit trackers, finance dashboards, learning companions, morning briefings — apps shaped by your workflow, not someone else's assumptions
• Automate with scheduled tasks: cron jobs that fetch data, cross-reference your apps, and send push notifications to your phone
• Customize everything: the agent can change the theme, layout, and shell UI in real time — you see changes appear in front of you

Dependencies for Möbius Hosting

• A Claude subscription (Pro or higher) for the AI agent
• A persistent volume mounted at /data (added in Railway service settings after deploy)

Deployment Dependencies

• Claude Code CLI — bundled in the Docker image, no setup needed
• Möbius GitHub repository
