## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Pingvin Share X

Run a protected file-sharing service with expiring links, user accounts, share passwords, and durable uploads. A generated gateway credential protects first-user setup before Pingvin's application authentication takes over.

## About Hosting Pingvin Share X

This template runs Pingvin Share X 1.22.1 on private networking with a 5,000 MB data volume. Caddy is the only public service and checks Pingvin's database-aware health endpoint.

## Why Deploy Pingvin Share X on Railway

Railway supplies TLS, generated bootstrap protection, private networking, and durable storage without requiring a separate database for a small-team file-sharing service.

## Common Use Cases

- Send expiring files to clients or teammates.
- Replace ad hoc email attachments with controlled download links.
- Receive files through reverse shares after setup.

## Dependencies for Pingvin Share X Hosting

- A Railway volume sized for account data and uploaded files.
- Optional SMTP when email delivery is enabled after deployment.
