Deploy and Host Tinykit on Railway

Tinykit is an open-source, agentic app builder that allows you to prompt, tweak, and deploy web apps instantly. Think of it as a self-hosted alternative to Replit, Lovable, or v0. It combines a natural language interface with a high-density runtime, allowing you to host 100+ small real-time apps on a single Railway service.

About Hosting Tinykit

Hosting Tinykit on Railway gives you a private, permanent home for your AI-generated apps. The system runs as a self-contained service powered by PocketBase, meaning it includes its own database, real-time subscriptions, authentication, and file storage out of the box.

Because it is architected for density, it is extremely lightweight. You can run dozens of distinct applications on a single service without needing separate containers for each one. All generated code and data are stored on a persistent volume, ensuring you own your data, files, and code completely.

Common Use Cases

Personal App Suite: Replace paid SaaS subscriptions with your own suite of apps. Run a habit tracker, budget planner, and recipe manager all in one place.
Internal Tools: Rapidly generate admin panels, CRMs, or inventory dashboards for your business without managing complex infrastructure.
Rapid Prototyping: Go from a text prompt to a functional, deployed MVP in seconds to test ideas before committing to a larger codebase.

Dependencies for Tinykit Hosting

Persistent Volume: A volume is required to store the PocketBase data file (pb_data) and the generated application files. Railway handles this automatically if configured in the template.

Deployment Dependencies

LLM API Key: To use the "Agentic" builder features, you will need to provide an API key from a supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini) during server setup (configured from the app, or optionally using environment variables.
