## Documentation

# Deploy and Host TREK (NOMAD) on Railway

## About Hosting

TREK (formerly NOMAD) is a self-hosted travel planning platform designed for collaborative trip organization. It supports shared itineraries, interactive maps, bookings, budgeting, packing lists, file uploads, and realtime updates. Railway is a managed deployment platform that makes it easy to run Docker-based applications with public networking, HTTPS, and environment-variable configuration.

## Tech Stack

- Backend: Node.js 22 + Express
- Database: SQLite (`better-sqlite3`)
- Frontend: React + Vite
- Realtime: WebSocket (`/ws`)
- Container Image: `mauriceboe/nomad:2.6.2`

## Why Deploy on Railway

- Supports direct Docker image deployment without needing a custom build pipeline
- Provides built-in HTTPS and public domains out of the box
- Makes configuration simple through environment variables
- Works well for quick self-hosted app launches and reusable templates
- Reduces infrastructure setup complexity for small to medium deployments

## Common Use Cases

- Family or group trip planning with shared editing
- Team travel coordination with booking and file management
- Personal itinerary, checklist, and travel budget tracking
- Self-hosted replacement for commercial travel planning tools

## Deployment Notes

- This setup uses the upstream Docker image from Docker Hub
- The application listens on port `3000`
- HTTP traffic should be routed to container port `3000`
- Persistent storage should be mounted at `/app/data` for SQLite data and application state
- Upload storage at `/app/uploads` may remain ephemeral depending on the platform volume setup
- WebSocket support should remain enabled for realtime collaboration features
