# Deploy and Host Playlist Craft Self Host on Railway

Playlist Craft Self Host is a full music-generation workspace you run on your own stack: singles and up to 20-track playlists, media/image/video backgrounds, custom renders, File Drive, personas, YouTube upload, and team tools. Bring your own API keys (Suno, OpenRouter, Fal). After deploy, activate with a one-time lifetime license from [playlistcraft.com](https://playlistcraft.com).

## About Hosting Playlist Craft Self Host

One-click deploy creates a Railway project with the web dashboard, main/s3/render/youtube servers, Postgres, and object storage. You add shared variables for your provider keys (and optional email/YouTube OAuth), finish `/setup` for the admin account, then unlock the UI with a license key. Creative data stays on your Railway stack—not a SaaS subscription inside the template. Full walkthrough: [Deploy guide](https://playlistcraft.com/docs/deploy-guide). Feature list: [Features](https://playlistcraft.com/features). License & pricing: [Pricing](https://playlistcraft.com/pricing) or [Get license](https://playlistcraft.com/get-license). You can deploy first and buy later, or buy first and paste the key after setup—activation is required either way.

## Common Use Cases

- Run a **virtual artist** pipeline: high-quality singles for YouTube Music / Spotify with consistent personas, then playlist collections of 5–20 tracks
- Generate **longform music videos** with custom renders—upload your own assets or create images/videos in the media-generation playground first
- Operate a **private, BYOK studio** for a team: File Drive, YouTube channel upload, invites, and settings on infrastructure you control

## Dependencies for Playlist Craft Self Host Hosting

- **Railway account** — hosts the template services, Postgres, and storage
- **BYOK API keys** — at minimum OpenRouter, Suno, and Fal (`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `SUNO_API_KEY`, `FAL_KEY`); optional email (Resend or ZeptoMail) and Google OAuth for YouTube upload
- **Playlist Craft lifetime license** — purchase after (or before) deploy; activate in-app when the license gate appears ([docs: license activation](https://playlistcraft.com/docs/license-activation))

### Implementation Details

After deploy:

1. Open **Project Settings → Shared Variables** and add your third-party keys. Internal service-to-service secrets are already wired with Railway formulas—do not invent matching keys by hand.
2. Wait for services to come up, open the **web** public URL, complete **`/setup`**.
3. When the **license gate** appears, paste the key from Polar (buy on [Get license](https://playlistcraft.com/get-license) if you have not yet). One license = one dashboard instance.
4. Never put Polar organization tokens in your Railway project—checkout stays on playlistcraft.com; activation uses Playlist Craft’s license broker.
