## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Outpost on Railway

Outpost is a self-hosted [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) web UI packaged as a Docker image with a bundled webhook-to-agent pipeline. It gives you a browser-based AI coding agent that autonomously reacts to GitHub events — resolving issues, reviewing PRs, fixing CI, and responding to comments.

## About Hosting Outpost

Outpost deploys as a single Docker container exposing the OpenCode web UI and an internal webhook server. Set at least one LLM provider key (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) and a `GH_TOKEN` to get started. The bundled `opentower` plugin receives GitHub webhooks, verifies HMAC signatures, and dispatches them as agent sessions. Attach a volume at `/home/developer/dev` to persist projects and session history across redeploys. The container has no built-in auth — front it with Cloudflare Access or an equivalent proxy before exposing publicly.

## Common Use Cases

- **Autonomous issue resolution** — assign a GitHub issue and the agent clones the repo, implements a fix, and opens a draft PR.
- **Automated PR review** — the agent reviews pull requests, posts structured findings, and can self-fix issues it discovers.
- **CI failure remediation** — when a check suite fails, the agent diagnoses the error and pushes a fix (up to 3 attempts).

## Dependencies for Outpost Hosting

- At least one LLM provider API key (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`, etc.)
- A GitHub Personal Access Token (`GH_TOKEN`) with `repo`, `read:org`, and `workflow` scopes

### Deployment Dependencies

- [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) — the underlying AI coding agent
- [opentower plugin](./packages/opentower/) — webhook ingestion and agent dispatch
- [Cloudflare Access](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/applications/configure-apps/self-hosted-public-app/) (recommended) — auth proxy for the public-facing UI
