# Deploy and Host Tomodoro on Railway

Tomodoro is a modern, open-source Pomodoro timer and productivity application designed to help users manage their work and break intervals effectively. It integrates customizable timer settings, task tracking, performance statistics, ambient white noise, and advanced features like Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode to keep users focused directly from their web browsers.

## About Hosting Tomodoro

Hosting Tomodoro involves deploying the web-based client and any optional backend services to a cloud platform, making the application globally accessible. The process entails connecting the application's source repository (such as GitHub) to a hosting provider, configuring build settings (such as Node.js or static asset bundling), and setting up custom domains with automatic SSL/TLS encryption. Hosting ensures that user data, custom settings, and session statistics are persistently stored, synchronized, and easily retrieved across different devices, while also managing server scaling to maintain responsive interactions under variable user traffic.

## Common Use Cases

- **Self-Hosted Focus Tools:** Individual developers and students looking for a private, self-hosted focus timer without third-party trackers.
- **Team Pomodoro Sessions:** Remote teams who want to synchronize focus intervals or co-work using a shared Pomodoro session interface.
- **Custom Branding:** Organizations seeking to customize the dashboard branding, ambient soundtracks, and task manager to match their internal developer workflows.

## Dependencies for Tomodoro Hosting

- **Node.js Environment:** Required for building the frontend assets, running package management tasks, and hosting the web server.
- **GitHub Repository:** Essential for version control, continuous integration, and seamless deployment triggers upon code pushes.

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Railway Account](https://railway.app/) for hosting the containerized infrastructure.
- [GitHub](https://github.com/lazy-guy/tomodoro) to host and link the Tomodoro codebase.


### Implementation Details

Below is an example of a `railway.json` configuration file that you can place in the root directory of your Tomodoro project to explicitly define the build and startup behaviors:

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
  "build": {
    "builder": "NIXPACKS"
  },
  "deploy": {
    "startCommand": "npm run start",
    "restartPolicyType": "ON_FAILURE",
    "restartPolicyMaxRetries": 3
  }
}
```

## Why Deploy Tomodoro on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Tomodoro on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
