## Documentation

# Deploy a Shell Script on Railway

Quickly execute a shall script on a Railway hosted container. 

## Hosting a Shell Scriot

Encode your script to a base64 string using any tool of your choice. I used https://www.base64encode.org/.

Take the output string and put it in the `SCRIPT` environmental variable. Deploy the container and it will run the script you provided.
