## Documentation

# Deploy and Host OpenPlate on Railway

OpenPlate is an open-source food diary and nutrition-tracking app. This template deploys its official container as a single web service, without a database or persistent volume. Diary data stays in users' browsers, and AI features use provider keys configured by each user.

## About Hosting OpenPlate

The template runs `ghcr.io/lowcarbcheck/openplate:latest` on port `3000`, sets the app's public URL, and enables proxy awareness for Railway's reverse proxy. A health check uses `/healthcheck`. No database or server-side storage is required for this app-only setup. OpenPlate uses its default food database API endpoint, which has a limited anonymous quota; an API key can be added if your use case needs more capacity. The `latest` image tag follows upstream updates and may change between deployments.

## Common Use Cases

- Personal food and nutrition journaling
- Browser-based meal tracking
- Self-hosted access to OpenPlate
- Client-side AI features using your own provider key

## Dependencies for OpenPlate

## Why Deploy OpenPlate on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack, giving you a straightforward way to run OpenPlate without maintaining a server. Configure the container once, generate a public domain, and manage deployment settings and logs from one dashboard.
