  # Deploy and Host radicle-seed-template on Railway

  Radicle-seed-template deploys a self-hosted
  [Radicle](https://radicle.xyz) seed node and web explorer in one
   click. Radicle is a sovereign, peer-to-peer code forge built on
   Git. A seed node replicates repositories over the Radicle
  network and serves them via an HTTP API, while the explorer
  provides a web interface to browse hosted repos.

  ## About Hosting radicle-seed-template

  Hosting a Radicle seed node involves running two services: the
  seed node itself and a web-based explorer. The seed node
  connects to the Radicle peer-to-peer network on port 8776,
  discovers and replicates Git repositories, and exposes them
  through an HTTP API. The explorer is a single-page application
  served by nginx that connects to the seed's API to provide a
  browsable interface for hosted repositories. Railway handles
  networking, persistent storage for the node's identity and
  repository data, and public domain provisioning for both
  services.

  ## Common Use Cases

  - **Host a public seed node** to improve availability and
  redundancy of Radicle repositories across the network
  - **Self-host a code explorer** for browsing your organization's
   Radicle-hosted projects through a web UI
  - **Mirror repositories** from the Radicle network by running an
   always-on seed with an open seeding policy
