Deploy and Host NewsNow on Railway

NewsNow is a clean reader for real-time trending news: it pulls hot lists from dozens of news sites and communities into one page of columns.

About Hosting NewsNow

This template runs the official ghcr.io/ourongxing/newsnow:latest image with a volume at /usr/app/.data for its SQLite data. A random JWT_SECRET is generated. Open the URL after the deploy and start reading; no setup is needed. Optional GitHub login (to sync your column layout) needs a GitHub OAuth app: add G_CLIENT_ID and G_CLIENT_SECRET variables with callback https:///api/oauth/github.

Common Use Cases

Run a private news dashboard for yourself or a team
Point the NewsNow MCP server at your own instance
