# Remix on Railway — the Remix-lineage full-stack starter

One click provisions a production-shaped full-stack app: a **React Router v7** (framework mode,
SSR) server, a **PostgreSQL** database, **Prisma** with migrations applied automatically on
boot, and an **email/password auth skeleton** (bcrypt + cookie sessions). No form fields, no
manual wiring — the deploy button gives you a running, DB-connected app behind a public URL.

This is the successor template to the Remix Indie Stack (archived), ported to the officially
supported React Router v7 path and to Postgres. The app itself is a working notes app —
register, create notes, log out, log back in — that doubles as a reference for your own domain
model.

# Deploy and Host

Click the deploy button. Railway provisions exactly two services:

| Service | What it is |
|---|---|
| **app** | Built from the GitHub repo's Dockerfile (Node 22 LTS, multi-stage, `npm ci`). Boots with `prisma migrate deploy` (idempotent) then serves on Railway's injected `PORT`. Healthcheck: `GET /healthcheck.jpg` → 200. |
| **Postgres** | Railway's Postgres 18 image with a persistent volume. |

Wiring is preconfigured: `DATABASE_URL` on the app references `${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}}`, and
`SESSION_SECRET` is generated fresh per deployment via `${{secret(32, ...)}}`. Nothing to type.

## About Hosting

Hosting costs roughly **$5/month** at idle-to-light usage: the Postgres service (~$3–4/mo for
the smallest volume + memory) plus the app container (~$1–3/mo). Both scale with usage; you can
sleep the app when developing locally.

## Why Deploy

- **Migrations just work**: every boot runs `prisma migrate deploy` before the server starts —
  first deploy creates all tables; later deploys apply new migrations. No manual DB steps.
- **Actually verified**: the repo ships a Cypress smoke flow (register → create note → logout →
  login → data persisted) that is the same script used to verify the template itself.
- **Current stack**: React Router v7 framework mode (the official successor to Remix v2),
  Prisma 6, Tailwind 4, Node 22 LTS pinned in the Dockerfile.
- **Not an image dump**: the app service is sourced from the public GitHub repo, so you can
  fork it, connect your own fork, and let Railway rebuild on every push.

## Common Use Cases

- Starting a SaaS or dashboard app where you want auth + database from minute zero.
- Learning the Remix-lineage stack (loaders, actions, cookie sessions, Prisma) on a real
  deployment instead of localhost.
- Prototyping with a team: everyone deploys their own copy in one click and iterates on the
  same schema.

## Dependencies for

### Deployment Dependencies

- A Railway account (the button handles the rest).
- None of the deploy-form fields need input — all variables are preconfigured or generated.
- After deploy: open the public URL, sign up, and start writing notes. To make it yours, fork
  the repo, change `prisma/schema.prisma`, commit a migration with
  `npx prisma migrate dev`, and push — the next deploy applies it automatically.
