# Deploy and Host OpenMAIC on Railway

## About Hosting

[OpenMAIC](https://github.com/THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC) (Open Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom) is an open-source AI learning platform that generates full classroom experiences from a prompt or document input. It combines multi-agent orchestration with scene generation (slides, quizzes, interactive HTML, and project-based activities), plus optional voice and whiteboard-style outputs.

This Railway template deploys OpenMAIC as a **single container service** using a pre-built Docker image (`xiaosong233/openmaic-railway:latest`) and exposes it on port `3000`. No external database is required by default.

## Why Deploy

- **Self-hosted AI classroom**: Keep your learning data and generated content under your own infrastructure.
- **Fast setup**: One service, one public domain, minimal wiring.
- **Provider flexibility**: Supports multiple LLM vendors through environment variables.
- **Production-ready container**: Uses a pre-built, multi-arch Docker image suitable for Railway runtime environments.
- **Easy template reuse**: Ship once and reuse for demos, teams, or educational deployments.

## Common Use Cases

- Build an internal AI teaching assistant for schools, labs, or training teams.
- Generate interactive lessons from course material and PDFs.
- Run a private alternative to hosted AI classroom products.
- Prototype multi-agent educational workflows with custom LLM provider keys.
