## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Nginx on Railway

[Nginx](https://github.com/nginx/nginx) is a fast, widely used web server, reverse proxy and load balancer.

## About Hosting Nginx

This template runs the official `nginx:stable-alpine` image on port 80 and serves the default Nginx welcome page at your public URL. It is a starting point: to serve your own site or proxy to another Railway service, eject the template to your GitHub and add a Dockerfile that copies your files into `/usr/share/nginx/html` or your config into `/etc/nginx/conf.d/`.

## Common Use Cases

- Serve a static website or single-page app
- Reverse proxy in front of other Railway services
- Add caching, redirects or custom headers to an app

## Dependencies for Nginx Hosting

- One service; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Nginx on GitHub](https://github.com/nginx/nginx)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx)

## Why Deploy Nginx on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL and automatic restarts with no server to maintain, so Nginx is online within a minute of deploying.
