Deploy and Host Simple S3 on Railway

This template deploys MinIO S3-compatible storage service. It's designed for simplicity, automatically creating a single, pre-named bucket upon startup. This allows you to quickly get a private, self-hosted S3-like service running on Railway for storing files, backups, or application assets.

About Hosting Simple S3

Hosting this Simple S3 (MinIO) service on Railway is streamlined through this template. Upon deployment, Railway provisions a MinIO instance and automatically injects the necessary MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD as secure environment variables. The only required action is to define your desired bucket name in the MINIO_BUCKET variable. A persistent volume is automatically attached to the service, ensuring your data survives restarts and deployments. Railway also provides a public URL, giving you immediate access to the MinIO web console and the S3-compatible API endpoint for your applications to connect to.
