Deploy and Host RomM on Railway

RomM is an open-source game library manager that organizes legally obtained ROMs, metadata, artwork, and play history in a browser-based interface. It is designed for private game collections and can integrate with external metadata sources when configured by the operator.

About Hosting RomM on Railway

This template runs RomM with MariaDB for application metadata and user state. Keep database traffic on private networking, expose only the web application for browser access, and attach persistent storage for the database and any library assets that must survive redeployments. Metadata providers or identity integrations may require credentials issued by those services; enter those only when you enable the related feature. Review the upstream documentation for supported platforms, scanners, backups, and upgrades.

Common Use Cases

Catalog a personally owned game collection with artwork and metadata.
Provide a private browser-based library for household or small-team use.
Track play history and organize games across supported platforms.

Dependencies for RomM Hosting

MariaDB for users, metadata, and application state.
Persistent storage for the database and library files.
Optional metadata or identity-provider credentials for enabled integrations.
