Deploy and Host

Deploy your own private instance of Toastflix Sidecar with a single click on Railway.

About Hosting

Toastflix Sidecar is an automated container service engineered to handle media resolution, extraction, and proxy tasks with minimal overhead. Hosting it on Railway provides a fully managed deployment pipeline that provisions resources, handles continuous delivery from your source code, and binds directly to a secure public HTTPS endpoint without manual server provisioning.

Why Deploy

Zero Maintenance: Automated build, deployment, and health monitoring out of the box.
On-Demand Scalability: Native support for serverless scale-to-zero / sleeping mode to eliminate unnecessary compute costs when idle.
Turnkey Integration: Automatically exposes the necessary networking interfaces and routes for seamless client communication.
Isolated Execution: Runs inside a dedicated container environment, keeping your proxy and scraping logic sandboxed.

Common Use Cases

Running a dedicated backend companion service for Toastflix and media streaming platforms.
Offloading heavy stream extraction and proxy operations from low-powered local clients to cloud infrastructure.
Maintaining a high-availability, self-hosted resolver endpoint accessible across multiple devices.
