## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Nexus Grid Desk with Railway

Nexus Grid Desk is an operator desk for retail traders — status, market, engine, and controls in one Railway service. Start with no exchange keys (safe paper mode); add Kraken keys later only if you want live.

## About Hosting Nexus Grid Desk

Hosting this template means running a single Railway service from the `desk/` folder of the public GitHub repo. Railway builds the Dockerfile, exposes public HTTP on port 8080, and health-checks `/api/health`. The paper loop runs in-process, so you do not need a second worker, database, or DigitalOcean droplet for the appetite-test deploy. Live arming stays gated behind explicit flags and credentials you choose later.

## Common Use Cases

- Spin up a paper trading control surface before wiring a broker
- Share a one-click Railway desk with traders who bounce on multi-key signup
- Demo operator panels (status, market, core, logs, control, config, instance)
- Attach an optional research scorecard JSON for honest regime replay context
- Keep research/ML in a separate project while the desk stays zero-secret by default

## Dependencies for Nexus Grid Desk Hosting

- Public GitHub source: `cheffer0723/nexus-grid-dashboard-` (root directory `desk`)
- Python / FastAPI runtime built from the included Dockerfile
- Public Kraken market data for paper mode (no API keys)
- Optional Kraken API key/secret only if you deliberately enable live

### Deployment Dependencies

- Railway public HTTP networking on the service
- Healthcheck path `/api/health`
- Optional variables documented in the template (all optional for paper)
- Live demo reference: https://nexus.supersym.xyz
