# Deploy and Host NOFX on Railway

**NOFX** is an open-source **AI trading terminal assistant** for US stocks, commodities, forex, and crypto. It combines a **Go backend** with a modern web frontend, offering **real-time market analysis**, **AI-powered trade insights**, and secure API key management — all self-hosted.

## About Hosting NOFX on Railway

Hosting NOFX involves running a single all-in-one container that bundles the Go backend and nginx-served frontend. The backend handles market data, AI inference, and user authentication, while nginx proxies the frontend and API on a single public port. NOFX uses **SQLite** by default for storage, requiring a **persistent volume** mounted at `/app/data` to survive redeployments. Encryption keys and JWT secrets are auto-generated at startup if not provided, making initial deployment straightforward with minimal configuration required.

## Common Use Cases for Self-Hosted NOFX

- **Personal AI-assisted trading dashboard** for monitoring US stocks, forex, and crypto
- **Self-hosted alternative to cloud trading terminals** with full data privacy
- **Backtesting and market analysis** with AI-generated trade signals

## Dependencies for NOFX Hosting

- Persistent volume mounted at `/app/data` for SQLite database storage
- `JWT_SECRET` environment variable (minimum 32 characters)

- [NOFX Frontend Image](https://ghcr.io/nofxaios/nofx/nofx-frontend:latest)

### Implementation Details

The container runs nginx on Railway's `PORT` (default `8080`) and proxies `/api/` requests to the Go backend on internal port `8081`. RSA and AES-256 encryption keys are auto-generated at container startup if not set via environment variables.
