Deploy and Host Tarsee on Railway

Tarsee is a personal 24/7 Claude Code agent you can talk to from anywhere — web, Telegram, Discord, or voice. It wraps the Claude Code SDK directly, uses your Claude Max subscription (no API keys needed), and runs on a lightweight Node.js server with no build step.

Why Deploy

Your own Claude Code agent running 24/7 — no laptop needed
Talk to it from web, Telegram, Discord, or voice from any device
Persistent memory — it remembers everything across sessions
Browser automation with stealth mode and captcha solving
Scheduled tasks, daily briefings, and cron jobs that run while you sleep
Voice mode with hold-to-talk, local speech-to-text, and instant TTS
REST API for iOS Shortcuts and automations
No API keys needed — uses your Claude Max subscription directly

About Hosting Tarsee

Tarsee deploys as a single Docker container on Railway with a persistent volume for data. It needs a Claude Max subscription for authentication — just run claude login in the built-in web terminal after deploying. The only env var you need to change is your 4-digit PIN password. Everything else (encryption key, Node env) is pre-configured. The server runs on ~200MB RAM, includes Playwright for browser automation, faster-whisper for speech-to-text, and Piper/Edge TTS for text-to-speech. Credentials auto-refresh on the volume — no maintenance needed after initial setup.
