## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Signal Desktop in your browser on Railway

The Signal Desktop app running in the cloud and streamed to any browser. Link it to your phone once and reach your Signal chats from any computer, with the linked session kept on a volume.

## About Hosting Signal Desktop in your browser

The template runs the open source LinuxServer.io image `signal:latest` as one Railway service. Signal Desktop runs inside a minimal desktop and is streamed to your browser over Railway's HTTPS domain on port 3000. HTTP basic auth protects it with `CUSTOM_USER` and a generated `PASSWORD` that you copy from the service Variables. A volume is mounted at `/config`, so your linked session and settings survive restarts and redeploys. The first boot takes a minute or two.

## Common Use Cases

- Reading and answering Signal messages from any computer
- Using Signal on machines where you cannot install apps
- An always-on linked Signal session

## Dependencies for Signal Desktop in your browser Hosting

- No other services: one container plus a volume
- Any modern browser on the device you open it from

### Implementation Details

Open the Railway domain and sign in with `CUSTOM_USER` and `PASSWORD`; Signal Desktop opens full screen. Upload and download files and copy and paste between your device and the cloud through the side panel. Give the service at least 1 GB of memory.
