Deploy and Host OpenChamber & OpenCode on Railway

OpenChamber and OpenCode provide a complete, self-hosted AI coding agent workstation — reading your repo, writing and editing code, executing commands, running serverless deployments, and opening pull requests. This template provisions a Railway service with two front doors: a browser web UI (OpenChamber) on a public domain, and the opencode terminal TUI over railway ssh — both sharing one persistent /workspace volume with pre-installed DevOps tools (Wrangler, GitLab CLI, GitHub CLI, Git SSH).

About Hosting OpenChamber & OpenCode

One container runs openchamber on a public, password-protected Railway domain; railway ssh into the same container gives you the opencode TUI. A /workspace volume keeps your repos, OpenCode settings (opencode.json), skills, MCP servers, Wrangler auth, and credentials across redeploys. Pre-installed tools include Cloudflare Wrangler (wrangler), GitLab CLI (glab), GitHub CLI (gh), and Git with auto-generated ed25519 SSH keys.

Why Deploy on Railway?

• Two front doors, one service — a shareable browser web UI (OpenChamber) and terminal TUI (OpenCode) over SSH, both driving the same workspace and sessions.
• Pre-installed DevOps Tooling — Cloudflare Wrangler, GitLab CLI (glab), GitHub CLI (gh), and Git SSH are ready out of the box.
• Your laptop can sleep — the agent lives in the cloud; reopen the web link or railway ssh back in and pick up where you left off.
• Secure by default — the public web UI is password-protected (OPENCHAMBER_UI_PASSWORD); SSH is Railway-authenticated.
• Zero-Data-Loss Volume Persistence — repos, OpenCode configs (opencode.json), skills, MCP server configs, and Wrangler OAuth state sit on /workspace, surviving redeploys.
• Provider-agnostic — bring Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Gemini, or DeepSeek API keys; switch models without rebuilding.

Common Use Cases

• A cloud coding-agent workstation reachable from a browser link or the terminal.
• Serverless & Edge Development — build and deploy Cloudflare Workers and Pages with pre-installed wrangler.
• GitLab & GitHub Automation — manage issues, MRs, and PRs with glab and gh.
• Long-running refactors or migrations that keep going regardless of your local machine.

Dependencies for OpenChamber & OpenCode on Railway

• A provider API key (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, or DEEPSEEK_API_KEY).
• The Railway CLI for terminal/TUI access (railway ssh); the web UI needs only a browser.

Deployment Dependencies

• OpenChamber — Open-source agentic web UI workspace (@openchamber/web on npm).
• OpenCode — Open-source AI coding agent engine (opencode-ai on npm).
• Cloudflare Wrangler — CLI for Workers & Pages (wrangler on npm).
• GitLab CLI — Official GitLab CLI (glab).
• GitHub CLI — Official GitHub CLI (gh).
