# 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.                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                 
  ## Common Use Cases
