## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Notes on Railway

[Notes](https://github.com/zhaoolee/notes) is an open-source web notes app in the style of Smartisan Notes, with multiple notes, images, multi-device sync and PNG export.

## About Hosting Notes

This template runs the official `zhaoolee/notes:latest` image with a persistent volume at `/app/storage` (images and accounts). Login is required: the superadmin username and password are the generated `SUPERADMIN` and `SUPERADMINPASSWORD` variables on the service.

## Common Use Cases

- Private notes you can open from any device
- Export notes as images or Markdown
- Create extra user accounts from the superadmin page

## Dependencies for Notes Hosting

- One service with a volume; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Notes on GitHub](https://github.com/zhaoolee/notes)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/zhaoolee/notes)

## Why Deploy Notes on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. Open `/superadmin` with the generated credentials to create accounts, then sign in on the home page.
