Deploy and Host Static Bucket Server + GUI on Railway

An S3-compatible bucket file server with a password-protected web GUI for uploading, downloading, deleting, and managing files across multiple buckets. Includes a public file proxy, rate limiting, and friendly bucket name mapping.

About Hosting Static Bucket Server + GUI

Hosting the Static Bucket Server + GUI involves running a Node.js/Bun Express application that connects to an external S3-compatible storage provider. The server handles authentication, session management, and rate limiting in-memory by default, with optional Redis support for distributed deployments. Railway provides the compute environment, while your S3-compatible provider (Railway, AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.) stores the actual files. Configuration is done entirely through environment variables, making Railway's variable management a natural fit.

Common Use Cases

Hosting a self-service file management portal for teams that need to upload and organize assets in S3 buckets
Serving public static files (images, documents, media) via a CDN-friendly proxy with 1-year cache headers
Providing a simple, password-protected UI for non-technical users to manage files without direct S3 console access

Dependencies for Static Bucket Server + GUI Hosting

An S3-compatible storage provider (AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare R2, etc.)
Redis (optional, for distributed rate limiting across multiple instances)

Deployment Dependencies

Configure a Railway bucket service or a bucket on another platform.
Optional Redis service can be used (recommended if creating replicas to help manage cross-replica rate-limits)
