## Documentation

# Deploy and Host One Time Secret on Railway

**One Time Secret** is an open-source service for securely sharing sensitive
information via single-use, expiring links. Secrets are encrypted, stored
temporarily, and destroyed automatically after being viewed once or after a
configured expiration period.

## About Hosting One Time Secret

Hosting One Time Secret consists of running a single web application backed by
Redis for ephemeral secret storage. The service handles encryption, expiration,
and one-time retrieval automatically. When deployed on Railway, the application
runs as a single service with a managed Redis instance, and all configuration is
performed through environment variables, keeping setup simple and operational
overhead low.

## Common Use Cases

- Securely sharing passwords, API keys, or access tokens  
- Sending sensitive onboarding credentials to new team members  
- Exchanging secrets between services without persisting them in logs or email  

## Dependencies for One Time Secret Hosting

- One Time Secret application  
- Redis datastore

### Deployment Dependencies

- Official One Time Secret repository  
- Redis service provided during Railway template setup

### Implementation Details 

Redis is used exclusively for temporary secret storage and expiration handling.
Connection details are supplied via environment variables, and no configuration
files need to be modified.
