Deploy and Host S3 Bucket Explorer on Railway

S3 Bucket Explorer is a modern, self-hosted S3 file manager built with React Router 7. Browse, upload, download, preview, and manage files in any S3-compatible storage service — including AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, and Wasabi.

About Hosting S3 Bucket Explorer

Deploying S3 Bucket Explorer on Railway is straightforward. The template uses a Docker image built from the included Dockerfile. You just need to provide your S3-compatible storage credentials as environment variables — endpoint, access key, secret key, and region. Optionally, you can lock down access with username/password authentication. Railway handles the container orchestration, networking, and public URL generation automatically. No infrastructure management required.
